IVAT Invites Nominations of the Peacemakers
 Every year, the Institute on Violence Abuse and Trauma (IVAT) seeks to honor those among us who have made significant inroads in the struggle to end violence in the home, in the community and in the world.
To that end, we present three very special awards at our 14th International Conference on Violence, Abuse and Trauma this coming September 21-26, 2009 in San Diego, CA. These awards are The Lifetime Achievement in Advocacy Award, The William Friedrich Memorial Child Sexual Abuse Research, Assessment &/Or Treatment Award, and The Linda Saltzman Memorial Intimate Partner Violence Researcher Award. Each is described below.
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT IN ADVOCACY AWARD
A family violence advocate must exemplify compassion, wisdom, and tirelessness. S/he serves those who most need an ally during the most painful of times. This award honors and encourages the qualities of an advocate by recognizing outstanding life achievement on behalf of victims of family violence.
THE WILLAM FRIEDRICH MEMORIAL CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE RESEARCH, ASSESSMENT &/OR TREATMENT AWARD
This award is dedicated to the memory of William Friedrich, Ph.D., who dedicated his life to ending child sexual abuse through research, assessment, and clinical treatment. This award encourages these qualities by recognizing either new or established researchers or practitioners who have made substantial contributions to the field of child sexual abuse.
LINDA SALTZMAN MEMORIAL INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE RESEARCHER AWARD
This is a recent award that was first given at the 2007 Conference. It is a joint award given by IVAT and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). This award is dedicated to the memory of Linda Saltzman, Ph.D., who dedicated her life to ending intimate partner violence through research. This award encourages continued research in this field by recognizing either new or established researchers who have made substantial contributions to the field of intimate partner violence.
We are asking your invaluable help in identifying deserving candidates for these awards. The forms for nominating individuals for one or more of these awards are available on the IVAT website (www.IVATCenters.org).
