This webinar will provide an overview JF&CS’s program, including its core services, referral pathways, eligibility criteria, key partnerships, and the expertise of their team. In addition, the session will explore the broader context of intimate partner violence (IPV), including its prevalence in the general population and within the Jewish community. Participants will gain insight into common barriers individuals face when seeking support, as well as key indicators that clinicians and community members can use to identify IPV.
