Abstract
The National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health (NPWH) affirms that intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue that must be addressed at individual, relationship, community, and societal levels. Sectors that must work individually and together at each of these levels include but are not limited to healthcare, education, social services, government, and legal and justice services. NPWH endorses a comprehensive multilevel and multisector approach to prevent IPV, remove barriers to disclosing IPV and seeking services, promote universal screening to identify individuals who have or are currently experiencing IPV, provide trauma informed and culturally sensitive care, and ensure the availability and accessibility of immediate and ongoing support services. NPWH recognizes that individuals of all genders may experience IPV and/or be perpetrators of IPV.
