The 4th National Family Safety Summit has been designed to help participants identify long-term, scalable solutions to the sector’s most pressing challenges. The program creates a platform for innovative thinking, practical problem-solving, and the translation of ideas into action by supporting the broader journey towards ending family and sexual violence.
This solutions-focused agenda will explore recurring issues such as fragmented systems, insufficient funding for wrap-around services, and emerging harms, including technology-facilitated abuse, all within a safe, culturally inclusive, and forward-thinking environment. The Summit aims to bring the sector together not only to discuss the challenges but to leave with actionable insights, new connections, and strong partnerships that can drive meaningful, lasting change.
