Domestic Violence prevention in North Dakota
Violence is not just a criminal issue, it's a public health one as well. And to fix this in North Dakota and beyond, medical institutions have to get involved in the solution. CHI Saint Alexius has a ND Violence Prevention Program. The goal is to reduce intimate partner violence in the communities CHI serves. Right now, North Dakota details that our state's law enforcement serves about 5000 victims of domestic violence every year. The national Office of Justice Programs wants to push other hospitals and centers to do the same, like CHI Saint Alexius.
