Description
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a major public health problem that results in a wide range of short and long-term adverse mental health consequences.
Approximately 20% of individuals that experience IPV within a year develop a new psychiatric disorder. IPV survivors compared to those free of IPV are four times more likely to attempt suicide at some time in their lives. In selected samples such as domestic violence shelters, the prevalence of PTSD and MDD has been reported to be as high as 84% and 61%, respectively.
Providing trauma informed care can positively impact treatment engagement in IPV survivors. In this presentation, we draw from our experiences working in a multidisciplinary integrated model of services to highlight the use of instruments to assess for safety, the risk of being re-victimized and killed by an intimate partner.
