Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a public health issue that affects millions of Americans. Intimate partner violence is associated with significant health problems for victims. “Anxiety, depression, diabetes, hypertension, sexually transmitted diseases, serious injury, and substance use, all of which have long-term physical and emotional repercussions”. Often referred to as domestic violence, IPV impacts both physical and emotional health for individuals, even creating stress-related responses for children and families exposed. Healthcare professionals can play a critical role in responding to this health issue through knowledge, screening efforts, and interventions that lead to appropriate supports and services. Responding to Intimate Partner Violence through Screening Intervention training offers participant tools to identify individuals at risk, health consequences that impact physical and emotional health, strategies for screening, and resources to support individuals at risk through local resources.
