Domestic Violence in Louisiana: A View from the Bench
Have you ever wondered how the judiciary views domestic violence, stalking and sexual assault cases? Have you ever pondered the facts and laws that a judge, commissioner, or hearing officer considers in deciding these cases? This session seeks to highlight a judicial perspective in decision making on these important cases in a true/false, interactive session and gives participants an inside look at how and why decisions are made.

Improving Parent-Child Relationships with Parent Child Interaction Therapy
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an effective treatment for improving parent-child relationships, parenting skills, and child behavior. It works by first improving the parent-child attachment relationship, and then teaching parents effective discipline skills. This workshop will describe the research support for this modality of treatment, specifically within child-welfare involved families. We will also give an overview of PCIT, explain how it is different from other therapies, and describe how our research intends to improve it further.
