About the Program
Health Partners on IPV + Exploitation serves the nation’s network of 15,000 federally-funded community health centers through training on trauma-informed services, building partnerships, policy development, and the integration of processes designed to promote prevention and increase the identification and referral to supportive services for individuals at risk for, experiencing, or surviving intimate partner violence (IPV), human trafficking (HT), and exploitation.
