Link Between Intimate Partner Violence & Caregiving




Mil Resource Radio show

Summary: Mil Resource Radio with Linda Kreter and co-host Justin Constantine presents new information about the "Link between Intimate Partner Violence and Caregiving". April Gerlock, PhD, ARNP shares important research from a large study (882 interviews) with heterosexual couples where the veteran is in treatment for PTSD. Results show caregivers are at special risk for IPV due to vulnerability, military culture, and loss of control by the veteran. Dr. Gerlock exposes care gaps, and the increased risk to caregivers and children - if and when IPV is reported and how well the VA facility is equipped. More at www.MilResourceRadio.com.
