Building Healthy Futures Advanced Training - April 22-23, 2015

Join the Action Alliance for this 2-day conference to engage in critical thinking on men’s role in the movement to end sexual and intimate partner violence. Hear a variety of perspectives on men’s engagement and the multitude of critical questions that are raised as we deconstruct gender, masculinity, sexuality, and violence as it relates to both prevention and intervention programming and services for survivors.
