As health center staff are more likely to initiate conversations on IPV/HT/E with their patients after learning about domestic violence advocates and the range of services offered by their DV programs, these HC/DVP partnerships are critical to promote safety and health outcomes for patients, as well as staff, through bi-directional warm referrals. This infographic illustrates the benefits resulting from these partnerships and referrals and offers links to the sample MOU and other supportive resources to promote new and expand on current collaborative efforts.
Visit our online toolkit, www.IPVHealthPartners.org, for more information on supporting health centers to address and prevent IPV, HT, and exploitation, and to build partnerships with DV/SA programs.
