Violence Institute
The The Black Church and Domestic
Violence Institute develops partnerships to provide educational, spiritual,
and technical support; advocacy; and leadership development to enhance
the church's capacity to empower and protect victims of domestic violence,
hold abusers accountable, and promote healing in African-American communities.
The institute also offers training to clergy, advocates, and other practitioners
to provide an appropriate faith-based response to African-American women
and children affected by domestic or intimate partner violence.
