Highlights of Nada Yorke’s presentation on ACES and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)
Nada Yorke, LCSW and trainer from Yorke Consulting, asked participants to think about the terminology they use to describe their clients. How we refer to our clients can frequently impact the way we approach our work. Next, we looked at the impact of ACES on both the perpetrators of IPV, and those that have survived IPV.
Attendees were asked to estimate the impact of ACES on the people they serve. Overall, attendees estimated that 70-90% of their client population experienced at least 4 or more ACES. Clearly, as we work with IPV perpetrators and survivors, education on ACES and its impact would be beneficial. Attendees learned about IPV, power and control and stages of change. Access to resources to assist both perpetrators and survivors was discussed.
