Genesis Lunch & Learn: Addressing the Sexual & Reproductive Health Needs of Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence

Bring your lunch & join us every 4th Thursday

Description: This presentation will share findings from a comprehensive research study aimed at exploring the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). The study involved direct input from IPV survivors and staff from agencies in Dallas and Tarrant Counties serving these individuals. The goal was to better understand survivors’ SRH needs and develop a practical framework for nonprofits to screen and assess SRH needs effectively within their facilities. Participants will examine the link between IPV and negative SRH outcomes and identify perceived barriers in screening and assessing SRH needs. Participants will learn how IPV survivors prioritize their SRH needs and what recommendations IPV survivors have for improving services. Dr. Grace will also outline key components of a phased SRH framework for IPV agencies.
