HRSA has viewed
family and intimate partner violence as a major public health concern
for several years. In 1995, HRSA launched a project called the Family
and Intimate Partner Violence Prevention Initiative. In collaboration
with an Agencywide Steering Committee, and more than 80 national
experts, HRSA developed an Action Plan to Prevent Family and Intimate
Partner Violence.
The Plan is
guiding HRSA's response to family and intimate partner violence
now and into the 21st century. It addresses a wide spectrum of violence,
including spousal abuse and abuse against women, children, and the
elderly. The Plan supports a broader effort of the Department that
targets domestic violence prevention.
The Plan has
five components -- policy, training, service delivery, family education
and prevention promotion, and research and evaluation. It has been
widely distributed at the Federal, State, and local level and within
academia.
The Action
Plan is available for download here in
Adobe Acrobat (173 K) or WordPerfect
(296 K). Download
the free Acrobat Reader software. It is a document that
will be used by the Agency to guide policy formulation and programmatic
activities. It also promotes partnerships with and among the public
and private sectors.
If you do not
have the Acrobat Reader software, you may download a copy here.
If you are having trouble downloading the WordPerfect version, use
your browsers help files to configure your "helper applications"
to download the file to your computer.
