When Leaving Isn't an Option: A Trauma-Informed Care Approach for Victims of Intimate Partner Violence

One in four women and one in ten men experience some form of intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime (Stockman et al., 2015). The negative health consequences associated with IPV include, physical injury, mental illness, poverty, substance use/abuse, chronic health conditions, and poor maternal and fetal outcomes (García-Moreno et al., 2015; Hill et al., 2016; Islam et al., 2017). Although screening for IPV in clinical settings is recommended, many providers report feeling ill prepared to respond appropriately to positive disclosures (Kirk & Bezzant, 2020). This presentation provides an overview of interventions for healthcare providers to use when they encounter patients with a history of IPV. The interventions focus on trauma-informed care (TIC) approaches as a method for improving outcomes for victims of IPV.
