Learning Objectives:
  1. Identify experiences of reproductive coercion as faced by their clients

Description:
This report will describe how the National Domestic Violence Hotline and Rose Brooks Center have incorporated screening for, and response to, reproductive coercion into our organizations’ service provision. Presenters will provide information to domestic violence advocates on incorporating an assessment and response to reproductive coercion at their own agency. The workshop includes an overview of both organizations’ process, as well as opportunities for small and whole group discussion to develop attendees’ plans for a reproductive coercion initiative at their agency.
