Community care: Advocacy for Latin@ survivors of IPV in health systems

Community providers have been integral to individuals’ health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Latin@ individuals face unique situations when reporting intimate partner violence (IPV) and navigating healthcare systems due disparities in language access and identification in healthcare systems (Robinson et al., 2021). Community providers are bridges to increasing access to care, preventing IPV, and supporting Latin@ survivors.
