Laura Voith

Dr. Voith has worked over the last decade to address violence against women and youth through counseling, agency- and community-based coordination efforts, and research.

Her research focuses on the prevention and intervention of violence against women by working with boys and men to uncover the etiology of violence though the lens of trauma and health disparities. Her research shows that exposure to adversity and violence in family- and community-settings in childhood and adolescence are significant factors that, if gone unaddressed, can lead men to perpetrate violence in adulthood. Dr. Voith’s research aims to inform the development and evaluation of violence prevention programs with at-risk youth and improve batterer intervention programming with men.
