Focusing on sections of the "Strategies for Change: Building More Peaceful Communities" Document, the four-hour summit featured survivors of violence who offered their unique perspectives. Audience Q&A sessions and a breakout session allowed everyone present to get involved in implementing strategies for change right here in our communities.
