Health Centers Are Key to Violence Prevention
We work with health centers to support those at risk of experiencing or surviving intimate partner violence (IPV), human trafficking (HT), and exploitation, and to bolster prevention efforts.
Our Impact
Health Partners on IPV + Exploitation serves the nation’s network of 15,000 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.

Community of Practice: Building Health Center Responses to Human Trafficking (May, 2025)
Health Partners on IPV + Exploitation is hosting a 4-part Community of Practice (CoP) focused on human trafficking (HT) and its impacts on health. The CoP will discuss systems change practices, including how to coordinate bi-directional referrals between health centers (HCs) and community-based programs. Sessions will discuss intervention approaches, HRSA’s UDS measures on HT/exploitation, and documentation strategies. The sessions will be held across May, 2025 and registration is now closed.
