Joyce Cook, a Protective Services Specialist with the West Virginia
Coalition Against Domestic Violence, deserves recognition as a pioneer
in the collaboration between Child Protective Services and Domestic
Violence Advocacy. For the past six years, she has worked tirelessly to
build relationships in the service community that identify safety issues
for both battered women and their children. Her ideas and energy
provide the basis and act as a catalyst for current domestic violence
policies and training curricula used by Child Protective Services.
Additionally, she has helped to shape the State statute and procedures
responsible for realizing improvements in the Circuit and Family Court
systems.
Ms. Cook serves as an active member of the Court Improvement Project,
the Domestic Violence/Child Victimization Workgroup, the Domestic
Violence Definitions Workgroup, and the Citizens Review Panel. She
also participates as an active trainer for these workgroups.
