The “Healthy Jewish Families Project:": Faith and culture as tools for abuse prevention, health promotion and healing Paper presented at the National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence, San Francisco, 29 - 31 March 2012 Naomi S. Tucker - San Francisco, Calif.: National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence, 2012 - electronic document (8 p.): PDF format

This session presents the “Healthy Jewish Families Project” as a model that can be adapted to any faith or cultural group to shift that population’s normative views of health (individual and community) to include domestic violence prevention. Using culturally-specific and faith-based abuse prevention/response frameworks, we will showcase sample programs for teens, parents, clergy, community leaders, and physicians and health care workers to expand the playing field of how and where we respond to domestic violence in our own communities.
