  • Season 3 Episode 22: It's More Complicated Than "Just Leave": Caring for Patients Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence
    Aug 5 2026
    Intimate partner violence (IPV) is far more common than many clinicians realize; it often presents ways that don't fit the stereotypes. In this episode of the Friends of NPACE Podcast, NPACE Executive Director and family nurse practitioner Terri Schmitt sits down with Dr. Debbie Granick, psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed clinical social worker, educator, and author, for an important conversation about recognizing and responding to intimate partner violence in clinical practice. Together, they discuss how IPV can manifest through chronic pain, headaches, gastrointestinal complaints, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other seemingly unrelated symptoms. Dr. Granick shares practical, trauma-informed communication strategies that help clinicians create safer spaces for disclosure, build trust, and support patients without taking away their autonomy.
