Join the National Center on Domestic Violence, Trauma and Mental Health (NCDVTMH) for the webinar “Substance Use, Trauma and Domestic Violence: Critical Issues, Promising Approaches” on Tuesday, October 23 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. ET. During the webinar, participants will learn different strategies to address various factors that contribute to substance use in domestic violence situations.
To help combat the national opioid crisis, NCDVTMH has identified several approaches to address the complex needs of domestic violence survivors with substance use disorders. These support efforts recognize both the impact of trauma on survivors’ use of substances as well as the role of substance use-related coercion by perpetrators, which require integrated approaches for serving survivors’ needs. The session will discuss approaches to the opioid epidemic by rural domestic violence programs, as well as an evidence-based intervention to support the safety of those dealing with substance use and trauma.
Webinar presenters will include:
- Carole Warshaw, Director, NCDVTMH;
- Laurie Thompsen, Health and Behavioral Health Coordinator, West Virginia Coalition Against Domestic Violence; and
- Beth Collins, Domestic Violence Program Specialist, Colorado Department of Human Services.
The U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Children and Families, Family and Youth Services Bureau, Division of Family Violence Prevention and Services are co-sponsoring this webinar in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
