Woman Staring into the Forest

We are the Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Collaborative.

The Community Collaborative on Intimate Partner Violence aims to study, understand, and respond to the problem of intimate partner violence (IPV) and strengthen education, awareness, early intervention, and prevention of IPV throughout the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) and University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) academic and practice communities.

Our collaborative brings together a diverse group of professionals from both institutions, united by a shared commitment to combat IPV and provide support to survivors. Through multidisciplinary collaboration, we aim to break the cycle of violence, raise awareness, and promote healing and empowerment for those affected by IPV. Join us on this transformative journey as we work together to create safer, more inclusive communities for all. Together, we can make a difference.
