A trio of Iowa health organizations announced they have partnered in a statewide effort to improve the assistance provided to victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. The Project Catalyst leadership team consists of the Iowa Primary Care Association, the Iowa Department of Public Health and the Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence, which will work together to provide training and technical assistance to five community health centers and five domestic violence advocacy programs. The initiative will use comprehensive training curricula, health care provider resources, patient education materials and quality improvement tools developed by national nonprofit Futures Without Violence, including an online tool kit, available at ipvhealthpartners.org, which was developed by and for community health centers and domestic agencies seeking to expand partnerships.
