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.

The 2025 NMHR and NMPCA Annual Conference and Health Care Provider Retreat is set for June 5-7 in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the Sandia Resort & Casino!
This year, Health Partners on IPV + Exploitation will present the following session:
Intimate Partner Violence: Clinical Skills, EHRs tools, and Community Partnerships for Patient Care
This talk identifies strategies to support health and safety outcomes for survivors of violence who access health centers and domestic violence programs (DVPs). The session will begin with a definition of IPV and the related health impacts. We will discuss the landscape of supportive community programs across NM, and share adaptable tools to formalize partnerships and coordinate care between health centers and DVPs. HRSA began collecting IPV diagnosis and services UDS data in 2020. Health centers have challenges capturing this data. This session will discuss ways your health center can systematically facilitate outreach, prevention, universal education, care for patients, and connections to resources while safely documenting IPV within EHRs for UDS reporting.
