This national clearinghouse provides support for those interested in developing a comprehensive health care response to domestic violence in all health care settings. Provides resource and training materials, technical assistance, information and referrals, and models for local, state and national health policymaking. The organization serves a growing need for a more effective and organized approach to justice issues affecting battered women who have killed or assaulted their abusers while attempting to protect themselves and their children against violence, or who have been coerced by their abusers into committing a crime. The organization strives to prevent re-victimization by the criminal justice system, and develops resources to support attorneys, expert witnesses, advocates, and others working with battered women charged with crimes. They are building a resource library of information relating to legal cases, and a resource bank of expert witnesses to assist in trials.
