Are you a mom who resides in the North Shore? And, has your current or former husband ever physically hurt you?

or

Are you a young adult (ages 18 – 24) who grew up in the North Shore? And, did your mothers’ former or current husband ever physically hurt her?

or

Are you a professional (e.g., therapist, GAL, attorney, religious leader) that has worked with mothers or families from the North Shore who experienced violence by their current or former husband (or youth exposed to violence against their mother by their father)?

So, I answered yes to the questions mom, professionals, and/or young adults, what next?

Researchers at the University of Illinois are doing a research project about mothers, young adults, and professionals with these experiences. Participation in this study would entail a one-time meeting that would last approximately 1.5 – 2.5 hours. We could meet wherever is most convenient for you.

All information we collect will be kept private and confidential. I have gone to extensive lengths to ensure confidentiality, including obtaining a National Institutes of Health Certificate of Confidentiality, which prevents any of my records from getting subpoenaed. 

If you might be interested in participating, contact Megan for more information:
