SUMMARY:Helping the Helpers: Recognizing and Responding to Brain Injury from Intimate Partner Violence
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, June 1oth\, as the AVA Webinar Series presents Helping the Helpers: Recognizing and Responding to Brain Injury from Intimate Partner Violence\, featuring Dr. Halina (Lin) Haag\, a CIHR Fellow and Contract Faculty member with the Faculty of Social Work at Wilfrid Laurier University and part of the The Canadian Centre for IPV-BI\, coming soon. \nWednesday\, June 10th\, 2026 \n2 – 3:30pm EDT \nMany survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) may also be living with ongoing challenges because of brain injury (BI) caused by hits to the head\, face\, or neck and/or strangulation. It is critical that we make sure workers who encounter survivors are educated and equipped. This webinar is designed to create consistent knowledge and awareness of the hidden public health crisis of IPV-BI across Canada. Topics covered include an introduction to IPV-BI including strangulation\, typical signs and symptoms\, recognition tools and protocols\, strategies for accommodation and support\, and available resources to assist support professionals in a variety of contexts. This training is made possible thanks to funding support from the Public Health Agency of Canada. \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Halina (Lin) Haag (she/her) is a CIHR Fellow and Contract Faculty member with the Faculty of Social Work at Wilfrid Laurier University.
