Listening Sessions

When seeking to implement or improve the use of intimate partner violence (IPV)  risk assessments or models, it is important to seek input from a diverse group of stakeholders and community members. Especially critical is the inclusion of racially and ethnically diverse communities. Listening sessions can be an effective way to gather this important information and ensure the IPV risk assessment or model being used is responsive to the needs of your community. The goal of the listening sessions is to ensure people who will be impacted by the use of an IPV risk assessment or model  are included in the planning process and can share their insight.
