Invisible Epidemic
Domestic violence victims may experience terrible and traumatic physical violence, often directed at the head, neck and face, through blows to the head or strangulation. Brain injury caused by domestic violence is rarely identified, almost never immediately treated, and can result in short and long term physical, emotional, and cognitive consequences that can impact every area of a person's life. We are just discovering how that violence impacts the brain.
The National Partnership to End Interpersonal Violence Across the Lifespan (NPEIV) invites you to join us for a presentation on “Invisible Epidemic: Strangulation, Traumatic Brain Injury and Domestic Violence.” This training will equip you to use an innovative framework to address brain injury developed by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network in partnership with The Ohio State University called CARE that includes practical, hands on tools available for you to use.
