[Working as a resilience mentor aside victims of domestic violence]

Abstract

Domestic violence has numerous consequences on the victims' health. Supporting these victims means firstly being able to recognise the warning signs. Tools exist to facilitate the role of health professionals on the front line to screen for domestic violence and identify with the victims the gravity of their situation. Depending on the risks involved, it is sometimes important to let them make their own enlightened choices to help them regain confidence and independence.
