As part of DV Awareness Month, the US Department of Health and Human Services is hosting a panel discussion on screening and counseling for intimate partner violence in the healthcare setting. It will be held October 9th from 1-3pm ET, and will be both live (in DC) and webcast. If you’d like to participate in either medium, you can register here (registration is still required for webcast).
Speakers include the president-elect of ACOG and representatives from Futures Without Violence, the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance. Secretary Sebelius has been invited to speak, as well. Live tweeting of the event will occur via #DVAM12 and #SCREEN4IPV.
