Course overview
Heightened attention to police brutality has created momentum for developing alternative, community-based responses for Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). However, to build effective alternatives we must know what survivors already do in moments of acute danger, when they do not call the police. Using a qualitative descriptive methodology, we conducted 25 interviews with a diverse sample of IPV survivors. Each participant described the first, the worst and the most recent IPV incident, to whom they reached out to and why, the outcomes of their help-seeking, influences on the process and what they want from Domestic Violence (DV) programs during these frightening moments. This course will describe the results of this research and their implications for understanding and strengthening the "community" that survivors already have. This course will also describe several key innovations that DV Service Providers and Mental Health Professionals might consider in order to expand survivor options during dangerous moments.
