This year’s conference is intended to serve both professional and lay helpers who are engaged in gospel-centered domestic abuse intervention ministry. Past attendees have included licensed and lay biblical counselors, social workers, pastors, elders, small group leaders, advocates, survivors, and family members of those experiencing or perpetrating abuse. Whether you are a veteran domestic abuse interventionist or you are in the beginning stages understanding this topic, we hope you will join us.
PeaceWorks Live is more than a training event. It’s a gathering for people helpers who are committed to responding to domestic abuse with confidence in the sufficiency of Scripture, humble dependence on the Holy Spirit, safety and support for victims, and accountability and repentance opportunities for perpetrators. This is a time for these helpers to reflect on what it means to faithfully respond to these cases with Christ-exalting, gospel-centered solutions and to be reminded that they are not alone in this difficult work.
A Word to Perpetrators of Domestic Abuse: If you are a perpetrator of domestic abuse in need of resources to aid in your repentance process, please understand PeaceWorks Live is not intended to serve you in this way. Instead, we ask that you please visit www.menofpeace.org to view the resources PeaceWorks has designed specifically for abusive men desiring change.
A Word to Victims of Domestic Abuse: If you are currently living under the weight of abuse and in need of support as you pursue safety and sanity, please visit www.menofpeace.org/for-spouses to view a list of recommended victim care resources. If you are a survivor of domestic abuse desiring to engage in domestic abuse intervention ministry yourself, we recommend that, if possible, you not attend PeaceWorks Live alone but that you bring with you a trusted friend who can provide you with support throughout the event as the conference content may be triggering for survivors.
