| dc.description.notes | Many studies have pointed to negative and often long-term mental health consequences of domestic violence for victims. These impacts extend to depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and other disorders, substance abuse to self medicate, and suicide. Findings linking domestic violence and mental health raise important issues for service response.<br/ ><br/ >Firstly, health systems and practitioners need to be attuned to negative mental health impacts of domestic violence for victims in order to assist them; that is, to address their psychological needs, as well as refer to specialised services to address their safety and other needs.<br/ ><br/ >Secondly, health services and systems need to be mindful of increasing levels of harm for victims who may have experienced multiple exposures to violence (including child abuse, sexual violence outside of intimate relationships, experiences of war and trauma, and partner violence).<br/ ><br/ >Thirdly, there is a need for a public health focus on the prevention of intimate partner violence as a means of reducing population levels of mental disorder. | en |
