SUMMARY:HSABC Webinar: Intimate Partner Violence and Brain Injury 
DESCRIPTION:The Cridge Centre for the Family has been serving vulnerable 
 women impacted by intimate partner violence (IPV) for 29 years. Likewise
 , we have been supporting survivors of traumatic brain injury (BI) for 3
 0 years. With the combined expertise of these 2 areas, the Cridge is ded
 icated to addressing the issue and needs of women impacted by both IPV a
 nd BI. According to statistics, up to 90% of women who have been in a vi
 olent relationship have received at least one brain injury at the hand o
 f their partner. Every year, most of the approximately 250,00 Canadian w
 omen who have received an IPV-related BI are living undiagnosed and unsu
 pported in our community. This webinar looks to share the alarming stati
 stics, offer brain injury and IPV recognition and awareness tools, and p
 rovide practical strategies and approaches for front-line workers suppor
 ting women living with a brain injury as a result of IPV.\n\nInstructor:
