Florida Domestic Violence
Contact Hours: 2
What's included?
Course Overview
This fulfills the continuing education requirement of Domestic Violence for the state of Florida.
Domestic violence is defined as violent or aggressive behavior occurring within the home and usually involves the abuse of a spouse or partner. In the United States alone, it is estimated that more than 10 million adults have been subjected to domestic violence during the course of a year.
This statistic translates to an incident of domestic violence occurring every 3 seconds. Due to the increasing prevalence of domestic violence in society, there is a high probability that all healthcare professionals will evaluate and treat a victim (and quite possibly a perpetrator as well) of domestic violence at some time during their healthcare career. The importance of ongoing education and global awareness cannot be understated.
