Trauma Informed Screening And Care For Intimate Partner Violence
Presented By: Kathryn Doyle, Ph.D.
Program Description
Given the prevalence and impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) in society, the development of screening practices and interventions that are attentive to the impact of trauma on both health and one’s ability to access care are essential. The VA’s Intimate Partner Violence Program is offering a model for how to do this work in a trauma informed manner.
