This article describes a training project developed by a hospital-based
women's health center to help service providers expand resources for survivors of incest. The project reflected a feminist social work approach based on
an awareness of the connections among gender, power, and violence, as well
as a commitment to social justice, empowerment of clients and service
providers, and community building.
