The Coalition Hosts Health and Domestic Violence Seminar Series

December 17, 2020 10:00 am

On December 17th, 2020, the Health Care Coalition Against Domestic Violence presented “The Health Care Response to Intimate Partner Violence,” the second seminar within the “Health and Domestic Violence” series, where participants learned to define intimate partner violence (IPV) prevalence and dynamics, determine a proper health care response to IPV from a trauma-informed approach and intersectional lens, discuss proper documentation and best practices, learn about COVID-19’s impact on IPV, and more. The seminar was attended by doctors, nurses, health care providers, social workers, domestic violence advocates, and other allied professionals.

Stay tuned for the date and topic of the next seminar in the series, which will be announced here in the coming weeks! In the meantime, you can always request a training for your staff or agency through the trainings page on our site.


Coalition hosts Inter-Relationship Between Adult Domestic Violence, HIV & STIs

March 5, 2020 10:00 am
MEDCHI, 1211 CATHEDRAL ST., BALTIMORE, MD 21201

On March 5th, Jean-Michel Brevelle, Sexual Minorities Program Manager in the Center for HIV/STI Integration and Capacity of the Maryland Department of Health, presented very helpful information on the intersection of intimate partner violence (IPV), HIV and STIs for an appreciative audience of IPV  advocates, health care providers, social workers and others at MedChi in Baltimore.

The seminar examined IPV dynamics for both same sex and opposite sex relationships, focusing on how abusers can use infection as an abuse tactic and a victim’s subsequent status as a means to manipulate and control survivors.He helped the group understand the health and emotional impact of HIV and STIs on survivors, and discussed how to assess and intervene in an empowering manner.

Priya Bhayana of Restorative Response Baltimore began the night with an overview of promising restorative justice work, and how the approach can be somewhat complicated and controversial when applied to domestic violence.  The group held a brief discussion after the movie, enjoying food, drinks and camaraderie.
