COMMUNITY REPORT 2006
This year, as The Melissa
Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment commemorates its
10th anniversary, we look back upon a decade of accomplishments.
There has never been a time when it was more important to understand
the nature of violence and, through that understanding, to prevent
it. [Download]

Ninth Annual Conference
WAYS TO BOLSTER RESILIENCE IN VICTIMIZED CHILDREN, ADULTS
AND IN THOSE WHO PROVIDE HELP
In May 2005, the Melissa Institute held its Ninth Annual conference
on Resilience and invited two leading researchers in the area (Drs.
Ann Masten and Donald Meichenbaum see link to attached Conference
Program and Bio Sketches) to present. The material they prepared
for the conference is available as PDF files in the links below.
Their information and insights are especially timely in view of
the immense destruction, loss, trauma, and displacement following
Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. Hopefully, this conference information
will be of assistance to the victims and those who seek to help
nurture their resilience.
