This webinar features members of Ontario’s multi-disciplinary Domestic Violence Death Review Committee (DVDRC) speaking about their experience on the committee and as contributors to three of the themed chapters of the most recent report: intimate partner homicides (IPH) in aging populations, IPH involving firearms, and homicides in the context of intersecting concerns about mental health and substance use. Major themes and recommendations for preventing deaths in these circumstances will be presented.
By participating in this webinar, participants will:
- Review the purpose and major findings of Ontario’s DVDRC
- Gain an understanding of the risks of IPV homicide associated with firearms and identify policies likely to reduce this risk
- Identify steps and strategies that will contribute to the prevention of intimate partner homicides in aging populations
- Recognize connections of IPV risk to mental health and substance use concerns and learn about effective intervention and support strategies for both survivors and individuals who use violence and who struggle with substance use and/or mental health issues
This webinar will be recorded and made available online here.
