"In the past, the law had no clout. Now it does," Cox said, adding that the establish ment of programs is only the beginning. A series of workshops are being held this summer sum-mer to familiarize community com-munity leaders and helping help-ing professionals with the problems of spouse abuse. "Even the best human services professionals profes-sionals often have prejudices pre-judices and stereotypes about the battered woman. The goal of our workshops work-shops is to help physicians, physi-cians, lawyers, clergy and mental health professionals pro-fessionals separate facts from myths," she said. Cox said a Utah Coalition Coal-ition for Aid to Battered Women has been established esta-blished to provide one-on-one help for battered women. In the near future, training on family violence vio-lence and spouse abuse will be provided by Cox and other experts in the field to law enforcement personnel throughout the state. "Only when all agencies are working together to-gether will we begin to start resolving the problems prob-lems of spouse abuse," she said.
