How are Health Care Providers and Domestic Violence Advocates Working Together? A #HCADVDay #DVAM #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth Webinar

Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), held during the month of October, is fast approaching. Have you made plans for this year's Health Cares About Domestic Violence Day (HCADV Day)? Gather your healthcare staff and DV advocate colleagues for a webinar viewing party to learn more about establishing or expanding partnerships between health systems and domestic violence advocacy agencies, and how to implement the evidence-based “CUES” intervention to address violence and trauma and promote healthy relationships. This webinar will also highlight free resources and tools from FUTURES’ National Health Resource Center on Domestic Violence.
