On
October 22-24, 2008, we celebrate our ninth international conference,
designed for teachers, special educators, social workers, psychologists,
therapists, parents and family members, administrators, politicians,
attorneys, researchers, professors, and all advocates for those who
hunger for justice.
The conference will include practical and tested ways to help
marginalized children and adults learn to feel safe and loved, become
loving, and become increasingly engaged in family and community life.
The conference will cover topics such as:
§
Helping children and adolescents with life stories of
extreme violence, helping them at home and in schools,
§
Supporting men and home in loving community homes and the
world of work,
§
Dealing with psychiatric disorders in loving and
nonviolent ways,
§
Avoiding the use of any and all forms of restraint and
punishment,
§
Supporting elders suffering from Alzheimer’s disease,
§
Establishing political and legislative laws and
procedures supportive of nonviolence, a culture of gentleness, and
community inclusion,
§
Understanding human and civil rights as a foundation for
nonviolence and community inclusion.
GTI 2008 is sponsored by El Centro de Paz y Justicia de las Americas (CEPAZ),
a non-profit organization in Puerto Rico. We are all grateful for the
unconditional support of the CEPAZ founder, Carlos Del Valle Cruz. |
