We’re working with several health regulatory colleges on an upcoming webinar on intimate partner violence to be held on Tuesday, September 22 at noon.
We’re collaborating on this webinar for midwives based on a recommendation from the Domestic Violence Death Review Committee. The Committee recently reviewed 15 deaths from intimate partner violence or domestic violence with the aim of reducing the risk of harm to those who experience or who are at risk of domestic violence and intimate partner violence.
