Abstract
Family violence is a major social and health problem in the United States. Educational approaches are needed that help professionals and communities develop more effective skills to work with families and communities. This article describes a statewide, interdisciplinary, community-based educational program for professionals and paraprofessionals and a 6-month post-evaluation. Participants reported knowledge and skill development in assessment and interventions, improved use of violence prevention data for planning and interventions, and increased community partnerships and collaborations. Recommendations address violence prevention leadership, funding, infrastructure, interdisciplinary professional education, greater community awareness, and policy development.
