Abstract

Homelessness impacts over half a million individuals in the United States and increases the risk of physical, emotional, social, and financial distress, potentially leading to violence, abuse or harm. Individuals experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) are at an increased risk of becoming homeless. Homeless shelters in Duluth, MN, without specific IPV focus, do not have formal IPV training in place. The goal of this project was to educate staff and volunteers at a warming center in Duluth, MN on how to identify IPV, implement an evidence-based screening tool, and provide appropriate resource referrals to victims of IPV.
