Your practice is an ‘IRIS’ practice.  You can talk to doctors, nurses and other staff working here if you are being hurt or controlled by your current or ex-partner, are afraid of someone at home or a member of your family. You can also contact NIA and ask to speak to the IRIS worker, ‘IRIS Advocate Educator’.
