Presentation Format:
Innovative/Promising Practice Program Report
Learning Objectives:
- Identify strategies for developing or enhancing health services in domestic violence programs.
- Describe important components to a comprehensive health services program and implement the tools and collaborations to address them.
- Assess the readiness of your program to integrate health services and explore opportunities to increase service provision.
Through domestic violence agencies developing health services programs, an opportunity is created to reinforce the capacity of those we serve to proactively seek information and receive medical care, in turn promoting sustainable, long-term access to community providers and improving the overall physical health and wellbeing of survivors and their families. This program report will highlight Rose Brooks Center’s experience with increasing access to health services for the survivors we serve through both onsite primary health services and community collaborations.
