On-Site Training
Substance Use, Trauma, and Domestic Violence- Part 1
Training
Up to 90% of women seeking substance use disorder treatment report experiencing domestic violence in their lifetime, with up to 67% reporting experiencing it in the last year. Join us as we explore the intersection of substance use, trauma and domestic violence[1]. This 2-part virtual training is designed to help advocates navigate the complexities of substance use, including substance use coercion, and its impacts on survivors’ access to essential DV services, including shelter.
Topics included in the training are:
· Identifying the connections between substance use, trauma, and intimate partner violence.
· Gaining an understanding of best practices and practical tools and skills for supporting needs of survivors who use substances, while moving away from the zero-tolerance model of intervention.
· Learning strategies for building cross referrals and collaborative relationships with substance use treatment professionals.
