Clinical Partner Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)

The Safe Horizon Clinical Consultation Program is made possible by a 3-year grant from the New York City Administration for Children’s Services. The primary function of the program is to provide the ACS Staten Island Field Office Child Protective Specialist (CPS) staff with expert clinical support in the areas of Mental Health, Interpersonal Violence, and Substance Use.

The Clinical Partner Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) serves as a specialist and consultant to CPS Teams working with families where intimate partner or family violence impacts child safety, strengthens staff capacity to recognize and respond to IPV dynamics while supporting safe engagement with survivors and accountability for persons causing harm.
