“The tendency of family courts to dismiss the history of domestic violence and abuse in custody cases, especially where mothers and/or children have brought forward credible allegations of domestic abuse, including coercive control, physical or sexual abuse is unacceptable,” said Reem Alsalem, UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, in a report to the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Thursday.
A history of intimate partner violence against women was often neglected in family courts and shared custody or parental authority, treated as the default ruling, regardless of the child’s perspective.
“When custody decisions are made in favour of the parent who claims to be alienated without sufficiently considering the views of the child, the resilience of the concerned child may be undermined.
“The child may also continue to be exposed to lasting harm,” Ms. Alsalem said. She also called out the failure of child custody processes to use child sensitive approaches that focus on the best interest of children. @UNSRVAW
@AndersGilberg@MGMA MIPS is just as bad for non-physician providers, who have less choices when it comes to APMs and still face the same fee schedule cuts. How do we help policy makers help all providers? Can we all work together?

There is a connection between the stories we don’t tell and the fact that abuse thrives in darkness. Telling the stories you wouldn’t usually tell is powerful. How do we become ready to share those stories?
Maybe you've heard about the power and control wheels, but do you know about the equality wheels? We love this adaption from The Duluth Model showing some things that teens (and anyone) can look for in a healthy relationship. 🧡💙

Don’t make someone else the hero of your survival story. After all you’ve been through, you deserve the credit. No therapist, conference or book took those steps for you. You did. Nothing can touch the depths of how hard you’ve worked to overcome. You should be so proud.

A lot of people think domestic violence is two people arguing and throwing dishes when it’s really about one person slowly, and often quietly, draining the life from a victim they keep at home.
