From week 1 to week 4, we have examined Intimate Partner Violence from various angles in both the asynchronous and synchronous materials, which really highlights the need to view Intimate Partner Violence and engage with clients who may be experiencing IPV through a socioecological lens.
So, the reflection prompt this week is the following:
In a perfect magical world where you have the opportunity to change two things in the whole field of Intimate Partner Violence, what would it be and why?
(You can be creative! We are imagining an ideal world where you can do anything! Here are some examples of possibilities to prompt your thinking: Would you change a specific policy in the criminal justice system’s response to IPV? Would you address societal norms around what a romantic relationship is supposed to look like? Do you have innovative ideas for better public health campaigns? Or do you have other ideas for individual-level or mezzo-level interventions?)
APA 7th edition cover page, page formatting, and citations (where appropriate), 2-3 pages double spaced.
