A local task force or a workshop leader can use this manual to present various workshop formats in a local community. The manual describes some of the activities involved in planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating workshops on family violence for religious and secular professionals and paraprofessionals. Sample presentations are included along with articles on family violence to be used for background material and handouts. An outline for a model 3-day workshop focuses on spouse abuse, child abuse, and religious issues and local strategies. A model 1-day workshop is also outlined. Sample presentations and commentaries encompass the subjects of a response to family violence, the batterer, spouse abuse victims, the incest offender, child abuse, nonoffending parents in an incestuous family, and rural and religious issues in family violence. Appended supplementary material and 29-item annotated bibliography.
