The VA Women’s Health Research Consortium (PDF) has an awesome webinar coming up next week: Clinical Utility of an Intimate Partner Violence Screening Tool for Female VA Patients. The session will be held on February 12th from 3-4 pm ET and is free of charge. You do know my happy place is the intersection of research and practice, so if I’m able I will be attending.

Clearly, I needed the weekend to recover, which is exactly what I did. Surrounded myself with loved ones (and my pup) and played down in Charlottesville with good friends. I held a few new babies, drank several glasses of good red, and ate enough for a couple people– all in all, it did a world of good. And while I was at it, I had a chance to do a little reading. Later in the week I will be bringing you a new clinical guide. But in the meantime, here’s what’s caught my attention since last we spoke:

An FHO reader sent me a message this week asking when I was going to resume posting the lists of what I’ve been reading over the weekend. I hadn’t realized until receiving that email that I had actually stopped. So in between flying home from a week working in Colorado Springs on Saturday and (maybe) flying south for a trial beginning tomorrow, here’s what I’ve been reading since last we spoke:

Apologies for the last minute post, but it includes free CMEs/CEUs AND it’s an important topic, so I figured you all might forgive me. The National Health Collaborative on Violence and Abuse is hosting a free webinar January 25th from 1:30-3pm ET, Trauma Informed Care: The Role of the Health Care Provider.

Post date January 16, 2013

I am a bit late on getting an Articles of Note post up, but hopefully what I lack in timeliness I make up for in volume. There’s some really interesting research to be found in the current journals, so I encourage you to peruse the list and see what looks relevant to your practice. Not too many free full-text articles, sadly, so hopefully you can access the articles via your local medical library or hospital. What follows after the jump is the embedded Scribd doc for printing; the list with live links is after that. As always, contact me if you want all of this in a word doc.

Women Veterans and Trauma

Post author By Jen
Post date December 31, 2012

BWJP is offering a webinar, Women Veterans and Trauma, January 22nd at 3pm Eastern. From the site:

Do you serve women veterans? Do you screen for military service, deployment to combat zones, combat and trauma-related conditions? Do you understand the intersection between combat exposure and other types of trauma? Some women veterans are survivors of military sexual trauma. Some are intimate partner violence survivors or may still be in abusive relationships. Some had trauma histories before entering the military. In addition, some women veterans are dealing with physical injuries and/or co-occurring conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, substance abuse, and depression, etc. This Webinar will address these issues and will provide a trauma-informed approach to serving women veterans.

I’m having some serious internet issues today, so I will keep this short. A new VAWnet applied research paper is now available: Violence During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period (PDF). Perfect for your January staff meeting (because we know at this month’s meeting it’s all about appreciating your staff and stuffing yourselves full of somebody’s homemade yum yums).

Stop back tomorrow for another great resource from a colleague and FHO reader…

Here’s a read worth your time:

From NCJRS: “The Attorney General’s Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence has released its final recommendations for a national response to address children’s exposure to violence. The report emphasizes prevention and intervention and underscores the importance of trauma-informed care and victim-tailored services.”

If you’re looking at your licensure and certification requirements and realizing you need to garner some additional CE hours before the end of the year, here are some ideas for credits that are $25 or less. All have some forensic healthcare application, whether directly or as related to patient education, discharge planning, etc. I’ll be back with Part II later in the week.

Taking time off leaves a good chunk of time for reading, especially on road trips. In my household, my partner likes to do the distance driving, which leaves me the job of reader. Once I have finished reading aloud the day’s newspaper (or at least the interesting-to-me parts of the Washington Post or NY Times), it’s on to all manner of electronic articles (thank you wifi and consistently good cell service between DC and Cleveland). Here’s some of what caught my attention since last we spoke:

After a very long (but very productive week) in Portland last week, I unplugged for the weekend (sort of). Mostly I just tried not to do work, instead enjoying being home after 5 days on the opposite coast. As much as I like Portland, I like DC more, and DC was lovely enough to provide a gorgeous weekend with very little in the way of a schedule. So that left plenty of time for reading–here’s a sample of what caught my eye since last we spoke:
