AVA Conversations: Recognizing and Responding to Brain Injury from IPV - Dr. Halina (Lin) Hagg

Welcome to the HERHealth Podcast! In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Halina (Lin) Haag from the Canadian Centre for IPV-BI to discuss the connection between intimate partner violence (IPV) and brain injury (BI), an often hidden and overlooked public health issue. The conversation highlights how brain injuries can result from physical assault, including blows to the head, face, or neck, as well as strangulation, and the ongoing impacts survivors may experience. It also emphasizes the importance of training and equipping professionals who work with survivors to better recognize and respond to IPV-related brain injuries.
