Welcome to our website

The Institute on Violence, Abuse and Trauma (IVAT) is an international resource and training center at Alliant International University.

Our mission is to provide professional training and information dissemination to improve the quality of life for those affected by violence, abuse, and trauma on local, national, and international levels.

IVAT was founded in July 2005, when the nationally acclaimed Family Violence and Sexual Assault Institute (FVSAI) joined Alliant International University. FVSAI was established to address the need for a national resource and training center that focused directly on family violence issues.

In September 2009, IVAT will host the 14th International Conference on Violence, Abuse and Trauma in San Diego California.

"IVAT provided a great conference in 2008! I believe it brought awareness to the mental health issues we are facing around the world & will continue to help people understand we all suffer from trauma. There's no shame in admitting you have a problem!" -Herschel Walker


“Doing the Keynote at the IVAT was a truly wonderful experience.  The audience was responsive and so eager to reach out and make a difference.They welcomed the message and mission of a three legged cat and a two legged dog who encourage all to speak their story as a" pawsitive" path towards healing.  Many have followed up to use the materials presented for their healing purpose.  Bravo to all there, well done!”   - Cathy Conheim

“As a member of the planning committee, it was especially meaningful to hear the positive comments about the organization and content of the conference from people attending it for the first time.”   -Marge Michaelson

“The IVAT Conference has gotten better year after year. The 2008 keynote speakers and session presenters were inspiring and compelling! Important information was shared in the sessions the can raise the bar on our skill and knowledge level, for our practices and agencies. Thank you IVAT!” -Kathyrn Tull, Private Practitioner, CA

"Best conference ever for Trauma.  Loved the variety of the tracks." -Linda Brown, Private Practitioner, CA
