Violence Free Minnesota
Founded in 1978, Violence Free Minnesota is a statewide coalition of over 90 member programs working to end relationship abuse. After 40 years, the coalition formerly known as the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women (MCBW), knew it was time to update our name to better reflect our ultimate goal: to live in a violence free state. This resource hub is intended for healthcare providers or anyone working in a clinic or hospital setting. The hub provides information about the warning signs and forms of relationship abuse, how it impacts health, how to work with patients experiencing abuse, how to assess for relationship abuse, and how to respond if a patient discloses abuse.
