2025 IPVA (Intimate Partner Violence Advocate) Certification Series

IPVA is one of APFC's many successful initiatives that has been operating since 2009; this five-part program is valuable to anyone who provides advocacy and support to families through social services, schools, the healthcare system, or the criminal justice system. Even business leaders will find IPVA valuable as one in four women is a victim of domestic violence, so it is likely that a colleague or employee will need support.

You can register for all five classes or you can take classes individually if you have some background on the issue.

IPVA attendees walk away with practical tools and information on how to safely and effectively approach, support, and empower victims. Even if you have received training on domestic violence, you will walk away from IPVA having learned something new. Since its inception, 100% of our 359 attendees reported recommending the series to colleagues (per a confidential survey). See our Facebook page to read comments by former attendees (www.Facebook.com/APFCNJ).
