- The Center for Women and Families in Louisville and in Southern Indiana have formed a partnership with the School of Nursing. A program affords our students an opportunity to extend learning beyond the classroom and bridge a gap between nursing theory and nursing practice. The Center for Women and Families provides students with training in domestic violence interventions in exchange for twenty hours of direct or indirect service at the Center's sites in Louisville and southern Indiana. Then, students and faculty work with women who have experienced domestic violence. The experience provides students the opportunity to understand the social context of domestic violence and gain the knowledge base needed to address the problem.
- In 2001, the March of Dimes and IU Southeast School of Nursing combined resources to provide the CenteringPregnancy® Program to pregnant women at the Kentucky Correctional Institute for Women (KCIW). Jacquelyn Reid EdD, CNM offers the program that provides opportunities for incarcerated women to learn more about pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care and depression. Students in the course Multi-system Approach to the Health of the Community-Practicum are involved in the CenteringPregnancy® Program. More information about CenteringPregnancy® Program is available at http://www.centeringhealthcare.org/
