being.

healthcare professionals?


Answer: ✔✔ Barriers include fear of retaliation, embarrassment or shame, lack of trust in the

privacy.




Question: What role does the healthcare professional play in creating a safety plan for a domestic

violence victim?


Answer: ✔✔ The healthcare professional can assist by providing information on safety planning,
