Responding to Intimate Partner Violence in Clinical Settings: a Trauma-Informed Approach

Faculty

Needs Statement

Interpersonal violence (IPV) affects 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men in their lifetimes. Approximately 41% of women who experience IPV and 15% of men who experience IPV receive some form of physical injury related to the violence. Of all homicide victims, about 1 in 6 are killed by an intimate partner. Healthcare providers play an important role in responding to IPV in their patients, especially when a trauma-informed approach is applied. 

Target Audience

Physicians, Certified Health Educators, Health Administrators, Health Educators, Licensed Professional Counselors, Professional Chaplains, and Social Workers in clinical practice settings.

• Describe initial strategies for implementing a trauma-informed approach to IPV
