Here is an example to work through. The linked source explains the idea or guest account. The next move is ICM guidance.
- Where it shows up
- A city considers importing a street-group strategy into partner violence work.
- A useful move
- Start with survivor safety and the specialized risk assessment and confidential service system. Examine the NNSC approach before deciding who can be engaged, by whom, and with what safeguards.
- What this does not prove
- Partner violence has distinct dynamics; a general GVI account is not an IPV protocol.
