Leslie Tutty, PhD is a Professor of Social Work at the University of Calgary. Her research focus over the past sixteen years has been on prevention and interventions with family violence, including a number of evaluations of services for those affected by family violence. These include shelters and post-shelter programs for abused women, support groups for abused women, mental health issues of abused women, treatment for adult and child victims of sexual abuse, and groups for men who abuse their partners. She is co-principal investigator of a SSHRC CURA project assessing the justice response to domestic abuse across the Prairie provinces and is currently evaluating screening protocols for a number of Calgary health, social services and immigrant serving agencies. She will provide methodologic expertise regarding implementation of the screening interventions.
