Dear Colleagues,
Domestic violence is a major health concern. As many as one in four
American adults has been a victim of, witnessed, or perpetrated
family violence in their lifetimes. Health care professionals are
often the first to respond to victims of abuse, and they don't
always have the information they need to help them identify and
treat family violence. Today's newsletter provides resources on
this critical issue.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues, who can sign-up for a free subscription to Friday's Progress Notes at http://www.athealth.com/Practitioner/Newsletter/fpn_subscribe.html
