GPHC hosts Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence workshop
In an effort to educate the population on domestic and intimate partner violence, the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) in collaboration with the Ministry of Health yesterday continued its fourth workshop for the year.
The main aim of the ongoing workshop is to educate persons on domestic and intimate partner violence so that they will be able to deal with a situation when or if any arises. The workshop is being held in the Multi-purpose hall at the GPHC every second and fourth Tuesday in each month.

“The management of the GPHC and the Health Ministry decided to execute a domestic violence awareness workshop since we are the health care provider. The purpose is to provide our health care workers with knowledge so that they can easily identify a problem,” GPHC’s Employee Assistance Officer, Peggy Benjamin said.
The workshop saw the presence of staffers from various departments of the hospital and according to Benjamin; they are looking forward for persons outside the hospital to attend the workshop.
Joy Gravesande, the gender based violence coordinator of Ministry of Health said, “We are talking to the staffers about intimate partner violence and we are trying to ensure that the employees understand domestic and intimate partner violence, the effects, how they can identify it and where they can go and get help.”
