Poly-Victimization: Connecting the Dots with Intimate Partner Violence Webinar
2025-10-21 13:00 - 14:30 | Virtual event
POLY-VICTIMIZATION – CONNECTING THE DOTS WITH INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE WEBINAR: The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is promoting this virtual event from the Justice Clearinghouse for Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2025.
Those who experience crime are not a monolith, and many victims of crime can experience multiple types of victimization. A one-size-fits-all approach leaves many victims, especially those experiencing intimate-partner violence, without the services and support they need.
Service providers need to understand poly-victimization and how it impacts survivors’ experiences with the programs at all levels and work to find the right resources and support mechanisms to serve victims best.
Learning Outcomes:
-Understand how poly-victimization plays a role in the way that victims experience the justice system.
-Identify potential gaps in services for those who experience poly-victimization.
-Identify three trauma-informed strategies service providers can use to support victims.

Health Cares About Domestic Violence Day 2025
2025-10-08 14:00 - 15:00 | Virtual
HEALTH CARES ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DAY 2025: The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is promoting the following webinar from the National Health Resource Center on Domestic Violence and Health Partners on IPV + Exploitation.
Health Cares About Domestic Violence Day (HCADV) Day is an annual, nationally recognized day that takes place on the second Wednesday of October. Sponsored by FUTURES, HCADV Day raises awareness that domestic violence is a healthcare issue. HCADV Day promotes partnerships between healthcare and domestic violence programs to support survivor health and work together to prevent domestic violence.
As the frequency of wildfires, hurricanes, floods, heatwaves, droughts, and various other natural disasters continues to rise across the United States and its territories, health centers and domestic violence programs can expect their operations, workforce, and clients to be increasingly impacted. Amidst these challenges, it is crucial for healthcare providers to recognize the heightened risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) and human trafficking (HT) in areas affected by such disasters.
This webinar will detail how to integrate IPV support into emergency preparedness efforts, including how to develop partnerships between health centers and local DV programs. Guest Speakers will highlight innovations from the field, key resources and approaches that can be implemented for October Domestic Violence Awareness Month and beyond.
This virtual event is from 2 to 3 p.m. Register to attend at https://healthpartnersipve.org/learning-opp/health-cares-about-domestic-violence-day-2025-integrating-domestic-violence-into-emergency-preparedness-planning-response/
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
Name three ways that natural disasters and emergencies impact the health and wellbeing of survivors of IPV/HT
Describe how community-based programs and health centers can formalize partnerships to help support emergency responses
Identify two resources to develop and formalize partnerships between health systems and community programs
