Domestic Violence

Witnessing and experiencing domestic violence can hinder normal development and have negative emotional, behavioral, social, and physical consequences for children. Pediatric primary care providers can identify families experiencing domestic violence and connect them to helpful resources, greatly improving their lives.

This training provides information about domestic violence, the short and long-term health consequences of domestic violence exposure to children, implementing domestic violence screening in clinical practice, reporting suspected cases, and local, statewide and national resources for victims of domestic violence and their families. Strategies for addressing health equity and delivering culturally sensitive care are also included. 

Practices receive:

• Validated screening tools
• Resources and/or referral information
• 1 CME credit
• Meal during the training
