Current State of Intimate Partner Violence and Interpersonal Violence in the US - Prevention and Intervention Strategies Across the Lifespan

THIS EVENT HAS PASSED. HOWEVER SEE THINK TANK 2025 FULL REPORT

Join us at the Town and Country Resort in San Diego, California, on Sunday, August 17, 2025, 10am to 4pm ($25 registration, includes lunch). We will collaboratively explore how to respond to cultural, economic, and societal shifts—outlined in Project 2025—and understand how these changes influence violence between individuals and groups across the U.S.

About the Think Tank

Our invited speakers will kick off the morning by sharing their ideas on collaborative action steps to advance our shared goals, especially in light of the increasing social, political, and financial challenges we are all facing. Attendees will have the opportunity to openly discuss barriers they’ve encountered, what solutions are proving effective in 2025, and engage in meaningful dialogue about these ideas alongside our speakers.

In the afternoon, 4-5 focus groups will convene, where your active participation will be essential. These discussions will focus on how we can collectively address and respond to current issues in workplaces and communities. The insights gathered will be compiled into a report aimed at educating the public, community organizers, and policymakers at the local and state levels about how recent national and state-level changes are impacting vulnerable populations. The report will emphasize the urgent need for everyone to take targeted action at individual, community, and national levels to prevent a significant rise in violence—an increase that could cause irreparable harm to ourselves, our families, and our nation.
