Safer Together: Cross-Reporting for Humane and Human Services in Indiana

The Animal Welfare Institute and the National Link Coalition, with the support of the Indiana Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW-IN) and the Winley Foundation, will host this virtual workshop to explore this critical issue and opportunities to establish and enhance cross-training and cross-reporting processes at the local level. This workshop will explore “the dark side” of the human-animal bond and its implications for human and humane services, family welfare agencies, prosecutors, law enforcement, and human and veterinary
medicine. It will describe new strategies, public policy, research, and programs to prevent family violence and to respond to its human and animal victims.
