Domestic Abuse Project (DAP) and its program planning partners are pleased to announce the Bridging Perspectives Conference to be held May 13-15, 2009 and the Pre-Conference on May 12, 2009. 

Building on the successful Michigan conference of 2005, the Bridging Perspectives Conference 2009 in Minnesota will bring together nearly 600 people interested in and involved with working with men who use violence in their familial relationships with women and children.

Progress is often the result of learning and collaboration. The Bridging Perspectives conference will provide an excellent opportunity to maximize the network of hundreds of professionals who work with men who batter. When people get together to share ideas, learn new strategies and meet their peers - change becomes possible. The conference will allow for attendees to network with some of the greatest minds in the field of batterer intervention, and to learn and create new strategies for improving outcomes in their work and the industry as a whole.

The conference will offer a chance to simultaneously explore multiple issues in the field of batterers intervention such as accountability, culturally specific approaches, new and emerging research, fathering and battering, interdisciplinary cooperation, chemical dependency, mental health issues and more.
