Intimate Partner Violence & Caregiving

Linda Kreter and Military Network Radio with co-host Justin Constantine presents "Intimate Partner Violence & Caregiving". April Gerlock, PhD, ARNP shares the newest research from a large study (882 interviews) with heterosexual couples where the veteran is in treatment for PTSD. Results show that caregivers are at special risk for IPV due to military culture, vulnerability, and loss of control, among other reasons. Care gaps are exposed, as is the enhanced risk to the caregiver and children if and when IPV is reported and how well the VA faciity is equipped.
