Health Centers Are Key to Violence Prevention
We provide technical assistance to health centers to develop and implement evidence-based strategies, protocols, and partnerships to prevent, identify, and respond to intimate partner violence (IPV) and human trafficking (HT).
Our Impact
Health Partners on IPV + Exploitation serves the nation’s network of 17,000 federally-funded health centers through training on building partnerships, policy development, and the integration of processes designed to promote prevention and increase the identification and referral to supportive services for individuals at risk for, experiencing, or surviving IPV, HT, and exploitation.
Health Partners works to build partnerships between health centers and domestic violence and sexual assault (DV/SA) advocacy programs–they are natural partners given their shared mission to improve the health, wellness, and safety of their patients and clients.
