This resource hub provides health center staff with webinars, tools, and evidence-based resources to identify and address Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), supporting stronger clinical care and safer communities. Developed to help health centers build a robust response to IPV, the hub delivers timely training, actionable strategies, and promising practices to frame both operational and clinical actions for addressing the complex and integrated service needs of impacted populations. By equipping staff with practical guidance and strategies for developing connections with community partners, these resources strengthen patient-centered care, align with value-based care priorities, and help to advance health center readiness to address IPV as a core public health and service delivery priority.
CHCANYS collaborated with the National Training and Technical Assistance Partner Futures Without Violence to develop a two-part webinar series focused on strengthening health centers’ capacity to respond to intimate partner violence (IPV). The sessions provided foundational knowledge on the definition and prevalence of IPV, highlighted evidence-based clinical practices, and offered actionable steps to integrate universal screening into patient care. Presenters also explored the use of EHR tools to enhance care for individuals at risk, as well as strategies for implementing warm, bi-directional referrals that support patients and increase staff engagement. Below you will find links to the two webinars, along with access to the Futures Without Violence Resource Library, which includes a robust collection of tools and practical guidance.

CHCANYS partnered with Azara Healthcare to host a webinar exploring how health centers can leverage Azara DRVS to close gaps in intimate partner violence (IPV) screening and follow-up care. This session offered actionable strategies for using the Center for Primary Care Informatics (CPCI) - the CHCANYS data warehouse - to identify patients due for IPV screening, track positive screens, and coordinate timely follow-up.
The webinar emphasized how IPV data can be integrated with clinical, behavioral, and risk factors to support truly comprehensive, patient-centered care. Additionally, the webinar presented a new CPCI clinical quality measure to track IPV screening rates. The measure is supported by a dedicated IPV dashboard, enabling health centers to monitor performance in real time and enhance both clinical insight and care planning tailored to patient risk. The new CPCI Safety Intervention Measure (SIM) was developed through collaboration between CHCANYS, Azara Healthcare, and other Primary Care Associations (PCAs) to align with HRSA’s IPV strategy and to assist health centers in standardizing, data-driven approaches to building a robust response to IPV.

CHCANYS hosted two informational webinars led by the Center for Excellence in Primary Care at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). These trainings focused on practical, team-based strategies that can be implemented across disciplines to reduce patient risks and improve care delivery for individuals at risk of intimate partner violence (IPV). Emphasis was also placed on addressing operational challenges in real-time clinical environments, such as coordinating referrals and aligning staff workflows, while simultaneously improving patient engagement and fostering a safe, supportive care experience. The sessions highlighted how multi-disciplinary teams—including clinical providers, behavioral health staff, enabling services, and front-line staff—can collaboratively identify, document, and respond to IPV. Presenters shared real-world examples demonstrating how care teams can apply protocols to support safe referrals, ensure consistent staff communication, and strengthen documentation practices.
