Research has consistently documented that experiencing gender-based violence (GBV) increases a person’s risk for developing a range of mental health conditions. Research has also documented high rates of GBV, [e.g., childhood sexual abuse (CSA), sexual assault (SA), and intimate partner violence (IPV)] among people living with psychiatric disabilities. At the same time, people experiencing GBV, particularly in the context of a disabling psychiatric condition, face unique risks that need to be factored into treatment and services. This webinar will provide an overview of research on the intersection of GBV, mental health, and psychiatric disability; tools for recognizing and responding to GBV-related risks; a review of relevant treatment modalities; and strategies for addressing trauma and GBV in clinical practice.
