Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA)

Published by: Elizabeth Brett, Kimberly Coleman Prier

In order to provide an integrated approach to addressing IPV among veterans, their partners, and VA employees, the VHA began implementation of the IPV Assistance Program in 2014. Currently piloted at six (6) VA Medical Centers (VAMCs), the program focuses on both veteran victims/veterans who experience violence and veteran offenders/veterans who use violence.
