SUMMARY:March Community Partner Meeting
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to our Monthly Community Partner Meeting\, where community voices come together to shape our shared future. \n\n\n\nTopic: The Lived Experience of Women with Initmate partner Violence Accompanied by Mild Traumatic Brain Injury \n\n\n\nIntimate partner violence affects 1 in 3 women in their lifetime worldwide. The head and face are the most common targets during intimate partner violences episodes\, occurring almost 90% of the time. Of these\, approximately half will have symptoms consistent with mild traumatic brain injury\, yet only a third of them will seek healthcare services. Even when they do seek services\, many mild traumatic brain injuries go unrecognized by clinicians. This leaves this population at risk for experiencing chronic symptoms such as\, poor health\, back pain\, headaches\, depression\, anxiety\, PTSD\, insomnia\, poor concentration\, and emotional dysregulation. While plenty of surveys and screening tools have provided researchers with quantitative data in recent years\, no one has asked these women how the mild traumatic brain injury from intimate partner violence has impacted their daily functioning. This presentation will share narratives from the women themselves along with the overall interpretation of the data so that we may be able to better understand their challenges in the aftermath of intimate partner violence. \n\n\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKER: \n\n\n\nSandra Sanchez\, PhD\, RN\, SANE-A\, SANE-P\, AFN-C has been a registered nurse for more than 30 years. As the current nursing program director for the Forensic Nursing Program at Harris Health\, Sandra leads a team of nurses that care for sexual assault\, intimate partner violence\, child abuse\, elder abuse\, and human trafficking. Her practice as a forensic nurse since 2003 has allowed her to care for more than 2\,400 victims of violence. She has also testified in court on numerous occasions as an expert in sexual assault and intimate partner violence cases. She received her PhD in Nursing Science in 2025. Her research focuses on the lived experience of women with traumatic brain injury from intimate partner violence patient. Her goal is to improve the overall quality of care to victims and minimize the physical and psychological impact of interpersonal violence by promoting hope\, resilience\, and restoration of the lives of those afflicted by interpersonal violence.
