Topic: “Disaster Without, Disaster Within: Natural Disasters, Family Violence, & the Covid-19 Pandemic”
Date: June 11, 2021
Time: 11:30a-1:00p (EDT)
Speaker: Andrew Campbell, Founder/CEO, Campbell Research & Consulting
Description: The presenter will discuss specific disasters around the globe and describe similarities in reporting patterns and household characteristics after these events with what has occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Participants will learn how increased stress and prolonged periods of isolation significantly increase risk of abuse victimization for adults, children, and pets who reside in the homes impacted by widespread disaster. With increasing reports of family violence extending a year or more after the event and declining mental health reported for up to three years after disaster, professionals must prepare for long-term family violence victim assistance needs following the current pandemic. The importance of protecting pets to better protect people, during disaster and at all other times as well, will also be highlighted. The presenter’s recently published theory “Opportunity to Abuse Theory, will be introduced to explain the increase in abuse that follows widespread crisis and disaster.
Speaker Bio: Andrew Campbell is an expert on family violence and the associated risks of harm for adults, children, and animals residing in homes where this violence occurs. Utilizing cutting-edge data analysis, groundbreaking cross-discipline collaborations, and a personal perspective on violence in the home, he provides education for agencies around the globe and assists in developing more efficient and effective community responses to physical and emotional violence. Andrew has presented at over 70 professional trainings over the last 3 years and his 10 major publications over the last year include, groundbreaking pandemic analysis cited by the CDC in their recommendation to re-open schools, the first paper in academic literature to tie pet abuse to an increased risk for responders to domestic violence, and his analysis of nearly 10,000 first responder reports and observations from the scene of domestic violence incidents.

Welcome: IUN Chancellor Ken Iwama
Special Guests: Sharon Pierce, President & CEO, The Villages / Prevent Child Abuse Indiana, and Sarah Sailors, Deputy Director – Field Operations, Indiana DCS

9:30 – 11:00 am (CDT) Keynote Address / Q&A ACE’s, OK, What Now?
Stacey Gagnon, Trainer, Speaker, and Director, Trauma Lens Care — Stacey Gagnon, nationally known speaker, foster mom, adoptive mom, blogger, educator, trainer, and co-founder of Trauma Lens Care https://traumalenscare.org/ answers the question posed in the title of her presentation. What happens after we have learned about adverse childhood experiences (ACE’s) and determined that the person in front of us has experienced numerous ACEs? How do we carry out the recommended trauma-informed approach? How do we take the science of ACEs and translate it into action in support of those with high numbers of ACEs?
Preventing trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) – creating conditions so that they never happen — is powerful and transformational for families and communities. This year’s forum focuses on some of the partnerships that are needed to make it happen.
While we are all partnering to eliminate ACEs in the future, we also realize that ACEs are here and must be dealt with in the present time. Today’s child abuse prevention advocates always pair “going upstream” to prevent problems with a strong commitment to providing trauma-informed care to those who need it. Stacey Gagnon’s opening session keynote address, ACEs, OK, What Now? will help us learn about how to fulfill this part of the field’s commitment.
