Course overview:
Psychological distress reactions follow common violence. These reactions may be overwhelming but are normal and often temporary. Most women recover from a violent situation, especially if they feel safe and receive emotional support from people they trust. The impact of intimate partner violence on mental health can be more subtle, yet very harmful. The violence may repeatedly occur and over a long period. It can grow worse and involve extreme emotional abuse.
