Intimate Partner Violence

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is abuse or aggression that occurs in a romantic relationship. IPV can vary in how often it happens and how severe it is, ranging from one episode of violence that could have lasting impact to chronic and severe episodes over multiple years. Intimate Partner Violence can happen to anyone and often happens when we least expect it. The presentation will center around the differences between healthy and unhealthy relationships, red flags of relationship abuse, and characteristics of abusers. We will also discuss how to get help and what services Crisis Center North can provide to survivors. This educational program will be presented by Lt. John Walls of North Fayette Police Department and Brett Adams of Crisis Center North.
