Local researchers initiate study during Domestic Violence Awareness month

“Intimate partner violence affects the mental health and well-being of women and others across society,” said Dr. Elnaz Moghimi, WRI’s research scientist.

“Our collective efforts are vital to improving the safety of every person affected by gender-based violence, and increasing access to anti-violence services and supports.”

Moghimi, along with Dr. Zoe Hilton, Waypoint’s Research Chair in Forensic Mental Health, are in the process of recruiting participants in the Simcoe County and Muskoka region for a study to learn what individuals impacted by IPV require when it comes to mental health. Link to full story here.
