For most people, workplaces are part of our daily lives. Increasingly, it is recognized that workplaces have an impact on people’s health and that personal lives have an impact on our workplace. This year's theme emphasizes the importance of workplace wellness. It will offer a venue to discuss how intimate partner violence (IPV) impacts workplaces. The importance of having a response to IPV that includes all workplaces will be discussed. It is through such discussion that a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities associated with everyone’s wellness can be developed.
