Family Justice and Wellness Conference

Family Justice and Wellness Conference
October 13, 2026
8AM-5PM

Are you a mental health provider, legal professional, victim advocate, or social worker? Or maybe you’re simply someone who is passionate about ending intimate partner violence and building stronger, healthier communities.

CASFV is proud to announce the 4th Annual Family Justice and Wellness Conference, a FREE event bringing together professionals and community members from across disciplines to explore innovative strategies and holistic approaches to the prevention, intervention, and healing of intimate partner violence.

This conference reflects our belief that lasting change happens when different fields come together. Legal professionals, mental health providers, advocates, and social workers all play a role in supporting survivors, and this event creates the space for that collaboration to grow. Attendees can expect thoughtful, practical sessions designed to strengthen the work being done every day in courtrooms, clinics, shelters, and communities across our region.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your professional skills, earn continuing education credit, or simply deepen your understanding of how we can better support survivors and their families, this conference offers something meaningful for you.
