Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Melissa Babb <>]

Hi everyone!

I am the Interpersonal Violence Coordinator at NC State University's Counseling Center and I was wondering if others have any policies and procedures for staff working with IPV clients. 

I'd like to create a guide for our clinicians that will include general trauma-informed guidelines about working with survivors and those accused of IPV. I'd like it to address assessing for safety and creating safety plans, how clients might present on triage or in the intake session, prompts to consider the client’s multicultural identity and how their identity may be contribute to what's going on, what happens during a forensic exam and other medical interventions, and resources both on and off campus. It would not need to be something to share with survivors or the accused, but simply to act as a guide for clinicians working with IPV kind of like a "do's and don'ts" guide. 

If any of you have developed something similar and are willing to share it I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thank you!

Melissa Babb
