Impact Bond: Treatment of Families Affected by Violence - Denmark
Stage of development: Implementation
Policy sector: Child and family welfare
Social challenge: Violence in close relationships leaves scars for life - both for the partner exposed to violence and for the children who grow up in a home with violence. With derived social, health and employment-oriented effects, violence also has large socio-economic costs. 
Intervention: Specialized therapy to families in domestic violence, including therapy to the violent partner, their partner and children. A goal of the intervention is also to create more knowledge about the consequences and derived costs associated with violence in families, and how social interventions that work can create savings across municipalities, regions and the state. The investment case therefore affects municipal, state and regional budgets, as violence is costly for both the social, health and judicial systems.
