In the state of Louisiana, there are 24 organizations that provide domestic violence services (Louisiana Domestic Violence Help, Programs and Statistics, 2019). On March 7, 2013, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization bill (aka S. 47) was signed by President Barack Obama to improve existing programs for domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking (Preventing violence, n.d.). The AMA adopted a policy to address intimate partner violence (IPV) in LGBTQ population ( AMA policy supporting survivors of LGBTQ intimate partner violence , 2018). The policy is used to raise awareness for physicians and community awareness of IPV among LGBTQ patients. The IPV screening and counseling has a B-rated recommendation in place so physicians can screen women of childbearing ages for IPV such as domestic violence (Berg, 2017).
Here are some treatment options/resources that are locally, statewide, and nationally. The Family Service of Greater Baton Rouge is well known in the local area, but their services are for offenders. They use the Duluth Model of treatment, which holds batters accountable to try and keep victims safe. Another local resource is Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence. They provide shelter, non-residential programs, and have people who work towards ending domestic violence in Louisiana. The New Orleans Family Justice Center is community-based. They find ways to allow criminal justice and law enforcement professionals supply all-inclusive services to victims. They also offer a program, Speak Up, that reaches out to local school and colleges to educate children, adolescents, and young adults to reflect and act upon forming healthy relationships. Nationally, there are resources such as LiveYourDream.org, National Dating Abuse Hotline, Pathways to Safety International, etc. There are many resources available online for victims but if they dont feel safe around a computer then they should first dial 911 or a local hotline.
