Introduction

The following video clips and lesson plan come from the DVERT Training CD, a  
video-rich program that provides a clear and succinct overview of the         
principles and practices the DVERT collaboration follows in combating         
domestic violence. It allows the user to follow the DVERT team through a      
domestic violence case, providing a practical understanding of how the        
collaboration operates. Community leaders and DVERT team members share their  
observations about how to build a successful domestic violence collaboration  
and explain how to avoid common pitfalls.
