An Introduction to the Grand Falls - Windsor Intimate Partner Violence Intervention Court

The Intimate Partner Violence Intervention Court (IPVIC) is a specialized criminal court using an intervention-based approach to address the complex issues of intimate partner violence. Currently IPVIC operates in St. John’s and Stephenville but is expanding operations to central Newfoundland and will be housed in the Grand Falls – Windsor court. IPVIC uses a treatment-based approach intended to address the complex issue of intimate partner violence. The focus is on victim safety as well as emphasizing offender accountability and treatment. This court is a collaborative effort of a number of stakeholders, including the Provincial Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, Public Prosecutions, the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador (Family Division), Legal Aid NL, Victim Services, Corrections and Community Services, and the Department of Child, Seniors and Social Development.

This one-hour presentation provides members on the west coast of the province with an overview of the IPVIC program, objectives and outcomes as well as highlighting the process to engage clients in the program.
