Welcome to the January issue of the National Link Coalition’s LINK-Letter. Each month we keep you up-to-date on public policy, programs and research at the intersections of animal abuse, child maltreatment, domestic violence and elder abuse.

In the attached PDF you can read about:

• What is the role of child protective services when dangerous animals are present?
• Animal abuse, domestic violence and childhood antisocial behavior in Chicago
• The Link and the One Health movement
• Link activity advances in The Netherlands
• News roundup of recent Link cases
• Veterinary Care Foundation to aid Link victims
• Animal abuse offender registries
• Plus 18 new training opportunities for you to learn about The Link, and lots more!

By clicking on the hyperlinks in the PDF, you’ll be connected immediately to individuals and organizations who are making a difference in the lives of abused people and animals. Enjoy the issue, share it with your colleagues, and please send me your comments, news, and names of any associates who would also like to receive the LINK-Letter.

Happy new year to you and all the members of your family,
Phil Arkow
Coordinator, National Link Coalition
