Description:

Department of Veterans Affairs Intimate Partner Violence Assistance Program is to implement a comprehensive trauma-transformed, person-centered, recovery-oriented assistance program for Veterans, their families and caregivers and VHA employees who use or experience intimate partner violence.

Intimate partner violence (IPV), which is often called domestic violence, occurs when a current or former intimate partner (e.g., boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse) harms, threatens to harm, or stalks their partner. While domestic violence does include IPV, it refers to any violence that occurs in the home. Domestic violence includes child abuse, elder abuse, and other forms of interpersonal abuse. IPV refers specifically to violence between intimate partners. IPV can happen to anyone. It can happen no matter your age, income, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, or disability.
