Brain injury in women experiencing intimate partner violence

Brain injury (BI) due to intimate partner violence (IPV) is a under-recognized but remarkably common occurrence primarily affecting women and sex- and gender-minority individuals. This presentation discusses recent research taking place at UBCO and elsewhere examining the impact of IPV-BI on brain function and how the systems put in place to support survivors can be improved by taking BI into account.
