Domestic Violence and Substance Use

Tuesday, Jan 14, 2025 • 12 pm to 1 pm

Virtual

Training Sessions

Abstract

While substance use does not cause domestic violence, we often see a correlation between domestic violence and drug and alcohol use. In this training, we will explore the links between DV and SUD and discuss the harm reduction routes Women's Services is taking to support survivors in Crawford County. We will also look at resources available through PCADV to any survivor in PA.

Objectives

  • Participants will be able to identify the resources available to them through PCADV
  • Participants will understand the correlation and not causation between DV and SUD
  • Participants will develop a working definition for domestic violence and be able to support survivors in their life.
