The VA Intimate Partner Violence Assistance Program (IPVAP) is committed to helping Veterans, their partners, and also VA staff who are impacted by Intimate Partner Violence. If you or
someone you know could be experiencing and/or using IPV – help is available. WHAT IS INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE? Intimate partner violence occurs when a current or former intimate partner
(for example, boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse) harms, threatens to harm, or stalks their partner/former partner. Some people experience only one form of violence, while others may experience
more than one. IPV can be a single event or can last for many years. No matter what, no one deserves to be treated this way. Everyone deserves to feel safe.
