The Gundersen National Child Protection Training Center developed the Child Advocacy Studies Curriculum that provided hands-on experiential training for undergraduates and graduate schools (Medical, Law, Seminaries) who would interface with cases of interpersonal violence; this programming was developed under the leadership of Victor Vieth, JD. Dr. Berman and Dr. McHugh in the Psychology Department, and Dr. Hysock-Witham in the Sociology Department spearheaded the initiative to develop the Child & Adult Advocacy Studies curriculum. This was the first undergraduate lifespan curriculum in the United States that prepared individuals for careers in violence prevention. The Psychology and Sociology Departments  offered both a minor and a certificate in Child and Adult Advocacy Studies.  These interdisciplinary programs provide mandated reporters and first responders in child protection, child advocacy, criminal justice, domestic violence, education, medicine, nursing, older adult protective services, older adult advocacy, psychology, sociology, social work and other disciplines with evidence-based, culturally relevant knowledge and skills to improve the outcomes for victims and perpetrators of interpersonal violence across the lifespan. Unfortunately, budget cuts led to IUP cutting these programs. However, Dr. Berman made her materials freely available to colleagues at other universities and supported the Zero Abuse Project in making on-line materials available for training students. Victor Vieth remains the guiding force in spreading these materials nationally and internationally.
