OFA Webinar: From Surviving to Thriving: Addressing Intimate Partner Violence in TANF Programs - Project IMPROVE

Survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) are overrepresented among people who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) services. In recognition of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Office of Family Assistance’s Project IMPROVE team hosted a webinar in October 2022. The webinar featured a panel of TANF leaders and their partners who are integrating IPV services with services from TANF and other programs which support low-income families to improve long-term outcomes for children and adults. This webinar presented a continuum of strategies to address IPV and highlighted the realities of what programs face when working with people currently or previously experiencing IPV. The panelists also addressed participant questions around challenges, best practices, and lessons learned.
