Not much of a weekend on my end of things, I have to tell you. The flight back from Minneapolis put me home with just enough time to get really sick (!), unpack, do laundry, re-pack, and head to San Antonio where we’re teaching a new curriculum this week. The days will be long, so I will attempt to post regularly, but forgive me for lapses, we’ll be taking things day by day. One thing about being sick is that is absolutely messes with my ability to sleep, so plenty of time to surf. Here’s what caught my eye since last we spoke:

I’ve been very, very remiss in getting this post up. My apologies, but now, once again, it’s time for Articles of Note–what’s new and noteworthy in the peer-reviewed literature. Remember this isn’t exhaustive, just what’s caught my eye as I’ve perused the journals as of late. Click through for the Word doc (with the active hyperlinks) and the PDF, good for printing and distributing at team meetings. Just remember–attribution, please. A lot of hard work goes into these compilations.

Apologies for being absent last week–too many balls in the air, and something had to give. You understand, I know. But it’s a brand new week, and maybe this one will be a bit less hectic. I actually tried pretty hard to stay offline over the weekend, but I had some screen time last evening, and it turns out a few fascinating things were happening on the interwebs while I was tuned out and otherwise preoccupied. So here’s what caught my eye since last we spoke:

Moments from the National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence

If, like me, you weren’t able to make it to the National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence, Futures Without Violence recently posted the Top 10 Moments on their blog. It’s replete with slide deck and video links (including the full presentation of the social determinants of health plenary and VP Biden’s remarks). Check out their Youtube channel to also catch the full ACEs plenary. Screening one of these would be a good way to spend a little time at an upcoming staff meeting, no?

It was an absolute whirlwind of a weekend. While my wife was off with the Army at Ft. Dix, I drove to Cleveland and back to see my kiddo star in her school musical (she was brilliant, obviously). I got home last last night, so apologies for the scant list this week, but I promise quality in place of quantity. Here’s what I’ve been checking out since last we spoke:

Finally home (for a minute)–I spent the weekend playing. I stayed offline much of it, I was just so happy to be back in DC. But a few wakeful hours early this morning left me with some time to read, so here’s what I’ve been checking out since last we spoke:

Well, folks–week 2 of my San Antonio adventure begins. And as much as I like this city (and the lodging on post, which is nicer than a lot of other places), I am ready to sleep in my own bed again. Alas, not till Friday. Happily I had some down time over the weekend, exploring the city, stuffing myself with enormous Mexican breakfasts (both days) and being just a little lazy. Plenty of time to read and peruse my social media feeds, so here’s what caught my eyes since last we spoke:

Worthwhile Read: Mapping Childhood Trauma

My dear friend Val sent me this article and I thought it was such a fantastic read, I figured it would be of interest to FHO’s readers, as well. Enjoy a look at (or a listen to–there’s corresponding audio) this unique partnership between medical and law enforcement. And while we’re at it–can we talk about a doc who’s duel boarded in OB/GYN and pathology? Good stuff. It’s a great example of how expansive our role can be in addressing violence, limited only by our own creativity.

I’m always excited to see a topic being taught that doesn’t get a lot of airplay. We touch on this issue in the IPV courses I teach, but I rarely see anything available in depth. So I’m happy to post the National Alliance to end Domestic Abuse‘s upcoming webinar, Gang violence and Domestic Violence. It will be held March 19th from 12-1:30pm ET. Webinars are $25 if you aren’t a member of the Alliance. Click through for details:

I am late in getting this posted–usually I have these ready to go 1st thing in the morning or even the night before. But my day got away from me, and then I had the opportunity to spend the evening dining with most cherished friends, so apologies to those of you who went searching for this post earlier today.

Lousy weather made it a good weekend to read, compounded by a cross country flight on Friday (in the middle seat). On top of that, there never seems to be a shortage of things to fuel the outrage, So here’s what caught my eye since last we spoke:

It was a very low key weekend, here in DC. The weather made it near impossible to do much (again), so there was a lot of baking (homemade pop tarts, croissants, quiche, etc.) and a lot of reading. Nice, because much travel is happening over the next month (hello, San Diego, San Antonio [for 2 weeks!] and Colorado). Want to know what’s caught my eye since last we spoke?

Sorry for the absence at the end of last week–the combination of making my way home from Anchorage and finally succumbing to the crud that’s been going around for weeks put me down for the count. But I’m back on my feet, to some extent, and the incredible cold this weekend had me happily hanging out and reading (Valentine’s Day be damned). Here’s what caught my eye since last we spoke:
