WHAT IS INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE?
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is abuse or coercion that occurs in a romantic relationship. “Intimate partner” refers to both current and former spouses, dating, and regular sexual partners. IPV can range from one episode of violence with lasting impact to chronic and severe episodes over multiple years.

WHAT ARE THE
WARNING SIGNS OF IPV?
When we understand what IPV is, we can identify it in a variety of forms. Examples include, but are not limited to an intimate partner who criticizes or humiliates, isolates you from others, manipulates and/or lies, threatens or physically hurts, and more.
If you or someone you know in the Greater Washington DC area is experiencing IPV, please call 1.877.885.2232 and leave a confidential message. A member of our professional team will return the call within 48 hours.
