Welcome to Global Violence Prevention an educational site designed to teach professionals and students about family violence and prevention

Global Violence Prevention uses interactive case studies to guide users through real-life situations of family violence. Each case presents a story of escalating violence and a series of questions that require taking the perspectives of many professionals and family members. In each case, users are presented with effective ways to respond to victims and perpetrators and linked to current research and programmatic resources. Global Violence Prevention is designed to promote interdisciplinary thinking and approaches to issues related to families experiencing violence. Case studies are designed for professionals in training settings, students in a classroom, or individuals.

• Enhancing Higher Education Teaching about Violence, a project funded by the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost and the Technology Enhanced Learning Center of the University of Minnesota
