In this module the authors will describe for participants the impact and context of intimate partner violence (IPV) for both women and children. Then, the remaining focus of the module will be to describe the significant role of domestic violence courts (DVC) to meet the needs of those impacted by IPV. In doing so, one specific DVC in the state of Minnesota will be introduced, along with an evaluation research plan to study it’s effectiveness.
