Intimate Partner Violence Assistance Program (IPVAP)

Intimate partner violence (IPV) includes emotional, physical, or sexual violence, stalking, and psychological aggression by a current or former intimate partner. It can occur in any relationship and doesn't require sexual intimacy or cohabitation. IPV can lead to various health and mental health issues. If you or a loved one may be in an abusive relationship, we can help.

To support healthy relationships and ensure safety, the Intimate Partner Violence Assistance Program (IPVAP) at Tomah VA offers the following services:

  • Assessment & Consultation

Routine screening, safety planning, provider consultations, and training for VA staff to recognize and respond to intimate partner violence

  • Education & Intervention

Information about the risks and impact of intimate partner violence on physical and mental health. We provide prevention resources, case management, individual and group therapy, as well as couples counseling.

  • Care Coordination

Assistance with connecting to VA services or community-based resources that best meet your needs.

  • Strength At Home Program

A trauma-informed, evidence-based group program designed to help individuals who struggle with conflict or violence in relationships. Options include a 12 or 26-week program for Veterans, and/or an 8-week program for couples.

  • Recovering from IPV through Strengths and Empowerment (RISE)
