Description: Health Partners on IPV+ Exploitation will host four virtual educational sessions to discuss intimate partner violence (IPV), including: prevalence and definitions; clinical change strategies including the CUES intervention; HRSA’s UDS measures on IPV/exploitation, and referrals and collaboration strategies to develop comprehensive HC responses. Health Outreach Partners and Migrant Clinicians Network will lead one session with a focus on IPV experienced by migratory seasonal agricultural workers (MSAWs) and will describe outreach strategies, essential partnerships and healing-centered strategies to support staff and patient well-being.

Community of Practice:

A Community of Practice (CoP) is a small cohort learning environment which entails faculty-driven presentation and discussion as well as bi-directional learning between and among attendees with time to ask questions. CoPs provide an in-depth review of a specific topic across four sessions; feature curriculum delivered by faculty; and include interactivity and discussion to advance skills.

Participation in all four sessions is strongly recommended as each session builds upon the other to deepen understanding. 

Learning Objectives:

As a result of this Community of Practice, participants will be able to:

1. Define intimate partner violence (IPV) and the health impacts for adults and adolescents.
2. Describe CUES, an evidence-based intervention on IPV for patient/client interactions.
3. Develop or expand meaningful partnerships between HCs and community-based programs for referrals and care coordination.
4. Summarize how to promote healing-centered environments for staff and patients and promote well-being.
