This presentation explores the far-reaching consequences of intimate partner violence (IPV) on children who witness or are exposed to it. Going beyond the immediate physical dangers, this presentation will delve into the emotional, psychological, neurobiological, developmental, and economic impacts of intimate partner violence that can shape a child’s future. With a focus on local and national data, survivor narratives, and trauma-informed approaches, the urgent need for a comprehensive public health response that includes prevention, early intervention, supportive policies, and community-based solutions is highlighted. This session aims to deepen understanding, spark empathy, and inspire action to break the cycle of violence and create safer environments for children and families.
