Event Details

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.1 Join us as we explore the intersection of substance use, trauma and domestic violence. 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. 

Attendance of Part 1 of this training is not required to register for part 2!  

Join us for part 2 of this important training as we hear from a panel of experienced directors from domestic violence programs and shelters here in GA and from other states, as we seek to apply what we've learned about substance use, trauma, and domestic violence to our work with survivors.  In a guided discussion, the panel will share the struggles and successes of moving away from zero-tolerance policies, the benefits of this shift in approach when supporting survivors, and more.
