Intimate Partner Violence Post COVID Lock-down
Emotional recovery period post COVID may be prolonged for those who worked to keep feelings of physical and mental fragility at bay during the pandemic. For some, marital, partner and familial stressors have gone from normal tensions to intimate partner violence (IPV). The stay-at-home restrictions, preventing the spread of COVID-19, increased these incidents of IPV

- The incidence, risk factors and manifestations of IPV
- Identify oro-facial and head and neck findings caused by physical abuse
- Communication techniques to approach patients with suspected trauma secondary to IPV
