In this episode, we delve into a crucial discussion with Larissa Mervin, Managing Attorney at Legal Aid of North Carolina's Charlotte office. Larissa shares her extensive experience in dealing with intimate partner violence (IPV) and its effects on maternal health. We explore the nuanced aspects of IPV, its definition, and the various forms it can take, from physical violence to emotional and financial control.
Larissa sheds light on the impact of IPV on different communities, including Black and Latinx populations, emphasizing the historical and structural factors that contribute to disparities in access to care and support. We also discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated IPV issues, leading to increased court filings and homicides.
This episode provides valuable insights for healthcare providers, social workers, and anyone interested in understanding and addressing the complex challenges surrounding IPV and maternal health, particularly in underserved communities. Join us for this enlightening conversation on a critical public health issue.
