A partnership between Health Outreach Partners (HOP) and Health Partners on IPV + Exploitation, a project of Futures Without Violence. 

Description: The purpose of the Learning Group is to provide a structured learning space for Health Center Leaders to come together to learn, analyze, and discuss the structural factors which cause health inequities and put certain populations at higher risk for harm, including intimate partner violence, exploitation, and human trafficking. Specifically, the Learning Group will focus on how participating operations staff at community health centers can utilize this framework to create a culture of care and affect actionable change at their organizations. 

Learning Objectives:

1. Define the Structural Competency framework and key concepts of structural violence, such as white supremacy, structural racism, and patriarchy

2. Analyze how health is influenced by structural factors

3. Describe how the Structural Competency framework is connected to strategies to prevent and respond to intimate partner violence and human trafficking

4. Conceptualize how to deliver care and advocate for communities using a structural competency lens
