This book presents a pioneering framework tailored for professionals involved in addressing intimate partner violence (IPV), specifically targeting the mitigation of social media misinformation. Utilizing effective communication strategies across platforms like X, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, it seeks to bridge the divide between academic expertise and public comprehension, addressing key challenges encountered by practitioners. Beginning with foundational chapters defining IPV, tracing the evolution of social media, and dissecting misinformation, it sheds light on prevalent knowledge gaps underscored by cases like the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial. The latter section serves as a comprehensive guide, furnishing industry-specific communication insights for law enforcement, counselors, researchers, and more. Culminating with actionable recommendations for future research and practice, this work is poised to enhance understanding and combat misinformation in the realm of IPV intervention. ****
