Domestic Violence Evaluations
Quick Overview

Domestic Violence (DV) evaluations are not mental health evaluations, because a DV evaluation is forensic in nature. It does not offer up a diagnosis about mental health. Rather its function is to to determine the presence of a domestic violence situation, and if so, to evaluate whether an individual is amenable to treatment. Read More.
