July 2024 Exchange Call: The Intimate Partner Violence Intervention

The Intimate Partner Violence Intervention (IPVI) is a coordinated strategy that addresses the most serious intimate partner violence (IPV), focusing the attention and actions on individuals causing IPV harm in the community while simultaneously centering victim-survivor safety. Through a multidisciplinary partnership, IPVI rewrites the narrative on how IPV can be addressed in communities while also shifting the burden off of victim-survivors to stop the abuse. From its initial launch in 2012 in High Point, NC to its replication in 2018 in Kingston, NY, there have been innovations to the strategy. IPVI continues to be tailored and streamlined to respond to the violence dynamics and resources of each city it is implemented in. This webinar gives an overview and background of the IPVI, presented by Fatma Zahra, Deputy Director of Strategies & Innovations, and Rachel Teicher , Director of Strategies & Interventions, both with the National Network for Safe Communities (NNSC).
