Intimate Partner Violence – What Is It and What Does It Look Like? With Malissa Veroni MSW , RSW .

Intimate partner violence (IPV) takes place in all settings, in all socioeconomic, religious, ethnic, and cultural groups. The overwhelming global burden of IPV is endured by women, and the most common perpetrators of violence against women are male intimate partners or ex-partners. Sometimes called “domestic violence”, intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious and widespread problem in which a current or former intimate partner engages in physical, sexual, verbal, or psychological violence or stalking (Breiding et al. 2015) . On this episode, I had the pleasure of Interviewing a relationship expert, Ms.Malissa Veroni , Ms. Canada World Universal ??Finalist. We discuss how to Identify and acknowledge the signs of IPV . If someone is experiencing IPV, they are not alone. The resources below are great places to start reaching out for help or to receive guidance on where to go:
