The Child Abuse Summit and Family Violence Conference, or "The Summit," has been hosted by the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Child Abuse Team and Domestic Violence Enhance Response Team. INTERCEPT, an interagency task force of investigators from the three Portland metro area sheriffs, Oregon Department of Justice, and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, will become more involved in our 10th years as they sponsor an online predator training track to address this new and rapidly developing area of concern.
The Summit is a three-and-a-half day long conference for professionals in all aspects of child abuse, neglect, and domestic violence, with the goal of teaching about the complex issues surrounding these topics.
Each day will include training tracks that allow you to tailor your training experience to your needs and current level of training. Breaks and lunches are extremely valuable tools as you network with professionals that can help you do your job better. Trainers are the best in their fields and bring expertise from every discipline from across the country and internationally.
The 10th Anniversary Summit will be taking place during April, 2009. In the coming months more information will be distributed as we know more details. The one thing you can be sure of is that the Summit coordinating committee will be working very hard to find the best training available in the world in the areas of child abuse and family violence.
