Ramona Alaggia is Associate Professor of Social Work and the Factor-Inwentash Chair in Children's Mental Health at the University of Toronto where she teaches social work practice with children and their families. Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, her studies examine disclosure processes of child sexual abuse and intimate partner violence survivors, the impact of various forms of justice on survivors of sexual violence, and help-seeking for survivors of intimate partner violence. The results of this research have culminated in Dr. Alaggia's most recent publication, Risky Business: An Ecological Analysis of Intimate Partner Violence Disclosure . She currently consults to and evaluates programs delivering services to survivors and their children, and for fathers who expose their children to intimate partner violence. See less
