The societal impact of Interpersonal and Sexual Violence is immeasurable and includes victim/survivor(s) who often experience physical and mental problems, including depression, post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
While primary prevention is key, stakeholders spanning a wide-range of interdisciplinary fields are responsible for the continuum of care in the wake of sexual violence and intimate partner violence victimization and the resulting interpersonal trauma that often ensues.
In April 2021, I will be presenting on Stage One of the Three Stage Approach and Response Model - Continuum of Care at the18th Annual IVAT International virtual summit in Hawaii. For additional information about IVAT, please visit www.ivatcenters.org.
