The American
Indian/Alaska Native Women's Health Safety Card was developed in partnership
with the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center. The card aims to help
women recognize healthy and unhealthy relationship dynamics and identify how
their relationship may impact their health, as well as their children. The card
lists specific health issues that may be the result of chronic stress from an
abusive relationship; offers suggestions to improve health and safety outcomes;
and describes typical services provided by domestic violence/sexual assault
advocacy programs. The backside of the card refers people to the National Domestic Violence Hotline and hotlines for sexual assault and child abuse.
This card may be given to patients routinely following a provider's DV/SA
screen; distributed at health fairs or community outreach events; and is also
effective when stocked in private areas like bathrooms and exam rooms. This 4-panel
double sided tool folds up to the size of a business card (3.5" x
2").
Available in English as a digital download and in hard copy in quantities of 50, 100, 200, or 300.
