2. Building a Bridge of Hope: Interdisciplinary Conference on Family Violence and Animal Abuse, March 29, 2007
Building a Bridge of Hope is an interdisciplinary conference that will bring together national and local experts to discuss the link between animal abuse and family violence, as well as to create a coordinated, interagency response to violence in all its forms.
Keynote Address: Phil Arkow, BA, American Humane Association & The Latham Foundation
A growing body of research is fueling a renaissance of interest in “The Link” -- acts of cruelty to animals that are markers for violence against humans. Researchers and practitioners in human and humane services are respecting animal abuse as a significant component within the continuum of family and community violence. Animal abuse adversely affects children who perpetrate or witness it, victims of intimate partner violence, hoarders, victims of elder abuse, and the non-human members of American families.
This presentation will help professionals in such fields as social work, law enforcement, veterinary medicine, psychology and education to provide more effective multi-disciplinary interventions by including animal protection organizations in community collaborations which address all forms of family violence.

3. Annual Art of Recovery Exhibit, April 22-28
In recognition of 2007 National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, April 22–28, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Justice Programs in partnership with the Minnesota State Arts Board is sponsoring the fourth annual Art of Recovery. This art exhibit will again feature work submitted by Minnesota crime victims who express their victim experience and/or recovery through artistic media. Last year’s exhibit was very successful; please help promote the event and assist in soliciting submissions.
Visual, literary and performance art will be accepted this year. The hope is that those who have used artwork as a way to express their experience with crime will submit work, whether or not they consider themselves to be “artists." Please share the Call for Entries with staff and those you serve. Please include in your newsletters, Web site, posting boards or other communications, and share with other organizations as you feel appropriate.
Your help in reaching crime victims with news of this opportunity is critical and greatly appreciated. Submission information is available through the Call for Entries, due date for submissions is Monday, January 22, 2007. Please contact Maia Hendel-Paterson, (651) 201-7318, with any questions. Thank you in advance for your help in publicizing this opportunity.

4. January is Stalking Awareness Month
This January marks the fourth annual observance of National Stalking Awareness Month (NSAM), started in 2004 by the National Center for Victims of Crime. Since its inception, NSAM has become a unifying force for victim service providers across the country to raise awareness about the serious and deadly crime that victimizes more than one million women and nearly 400,000 men in America each year.
The National Center for Victims of Crime encourages you to join them this year and help make the 4th NSAM the best yet. Get involved by distributing materials, working with public officials on proclamations, holding events or trainings, contacting local media, and organizing or participating in other local activities that raise awareness of this terrible crime.
To get involved and share what your community is working on for NSAM, please contact the National Center for Victims of Crime [e-mail or call (202) 467-8700]. Additional resources, such as fact sheets, stalking laws, research studies and training tools, are available from the National Center for Victims of Crime.
