Nearly a third of all Americans have been affected by intimate partner violence (IPV) at some point in their lives. Health and behavioral health care professionals are well positioned to respond to cases of domestic violence or intimate partner violence. The trust within the provider and client/patient relationship, offers opportunity to identify and support persons who may be victimized by IPV.

This interactive webinar will review risk factors of IPV, screening tools for consideration, trauma informed interviewing techniques for eliciting information without re-traumatizing, and elements of a safety plan.
