Domestic Violence and Health Care

by Peter Cohn

Going above and beyond to stop family violence.

 

A companion to the New Day documentary "Power and Control: Domestic Violence in America," this 20 minute film offers an inside look at the highly regarded domestic violence program at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, MD.   Doctors and nurses in the ER, the mother-baby unit,  pre-op and the sexual assault forensics unit share candid observations about domestic violence prevention and offer specific, practical suggestions.  The film profiles the coordinator of Mercy’s family violence program and  also includes an interview with Jacquelyn Campbell of Johns Hopkins, a leading expert on the health impact of domestic violence. 

"Domestic Violence and Law Enforcement," another companion film to "Power and Control," is also available via New Day.
