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 approximated 250,00 Canadian wo
 men who have received an IPV-related BI are living undiagnosed and unsup
 ported in our community. This webinar looks to share the alarming statis
 tics, offer brain injury and IPV recognition and awareness tools, and pr
 ovide practical strategies and approaches for front-line workers support
 ing women living with a brain injury as a result of IPV.\n\nInstructor:
