@samschuelstein.bsky.socialReposted by @paulvandonkelaar.bsky.socialIn honor of #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth, I’m proud to share that my college UF HHP featured my research in UF News!
I conducted a pilot study characterizing IPV-related head trauma in military spouses, a population vastly underrepresented in research compared to service members/veterans.

@soarproject.bsky.socialReposted by @paulvandonkelaar.bsky.social🚨 Did you know? IPV-caused brain injury can happen without a blow to the head?
Hitting, pushing, shaking, strangulation and suffocation can all cause brain injury.
Know the signs. Know how to respond. Take the FREE CATT IPV-R training — less than an hour + certificate.

@intervalhouse.bsky.socialReposted by @paulvandonkelaar.bsky.socialThe idea that Annie might have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) at the hands of her abusive ex-partner didn’t even cross her mind. It wasn’t until she filled out an intake form at Montreal's West Island Women’s Shelter.
