Responding to Intimate Partner Violence in Primary Care and Reproductive Health Settings (Webinar 2 of 2)

August 20, 2026,

Thursday 12:00pm – 1:00pm PST

Attendance at first webinar not required

 

Recognizing intimate partner violence (IPV) in practice is only the first step. Clinical teams also need practical, evidence-informed strategies for responding in ways that promote safety, preserve patient autonomy, and connect patients with meaningful support. In busy primary care and reproductive health settings, effective IPV response requires more than asking a screening question; it requires privacy, confidentiality, patient centered communication, clear workflows, thoughtful documentation, referral partnerships, and attention to supporting all staff.

 

This webinar will focus on practical clinical responses to IPV using Futures Without Violence’s CUES framework as the primary practice model and WHO’s LIVES approach as a guide for supportive first-line communication after disclosure. Participants will learn strategies for universal education, supportive responses to disclosure, safety planning, referral, and documentation, with attention to reproductive health contexts and clinic-based implementation. The session will also introduce myPlan as an optional, patient-centered safety planning and decision-support tool, while addressing technology safety considerations. Participants will leave with concrete strategies for strengthening clinic protocols, partnerships, and team-based IPV response.

 

 

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

 

1. Apply patient-centered, culturally responsive communication strategies when responding to IPV-related concerns or disclosures.

2. Describe how the CUES framework can support confidential universal education, patient empowerment, and connection to resources. 

3. Use LIVES-informed first-line support to listen, validate, assess needs, enhance safety, and connect patients to services.

4. Identify practical considerations for safety planning, documentation, referral, clinic protocols, and staff support in IPV response.
