Resources for Doctors

We are currently in the process of creating a master list of doctors who are aware of, and dedicated to, treating survivors with the sequelae of domestic violence. If you would like to register yourself as a trauma informed doctor, please fill in this form. But in the meantime, do join our online forum where we assist each-other in assisting patients, and do check out these resources we’ve vetted, and determined to be reliable, below.
