Improvement ideas from a two day domestic violence workshop
Participants urged action on officials linked by friendship or blood who fail to perform duties and on religious leaders who overlook abuse. They pressed for accountability in counseling, better coordination among agencies, review of protocols like New Mexico 1994 chiefs of police guidance, and stronger education and funding to prevent abuse and support victims.
