Safe and Together: Domestic Violence, Substance Abuse, and Mental Health
Many child welfare cases involve multiple issues, including substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental health issues. Often these are seen as "co-occurring" and families are sent to different service providers for each issue. But, research shows us that they are often points of intersection related to each other. This advanced training explores these intersections and looks at how perpetrators can use substances or mental health conditions as another means of control; how adult and child survivors turn to substances to cope; and the impact of domestic violence on victims' ability to secure treatment.
