At the Intersection of Domestic Violence and Substance Use: Hope, Healing, and Advocacy for Family Justice Centers Webinar
This national webinar announcements the anticipated release of At the Intersection of Domestic Violence and Substance Use: Hope, Healing and Advocacy for Family Justice Centers, an 8-part Virtual Learning Series and companion Toolkit.
The 8-Part Virtual Learning Series explores the role of substance use in the lives of survivors and offers a framework and resources for advocates and others nurturing hope in Family Justice Center clients who experience substance use as part of the trauma they face from an abusive partner. The companion Toolkit offers a comprehensive array of resources, guidance, examples, and tips to enhance the implementation of the lessons offered through this Virtual Learning Series. During the webinar, our panelists discuss the special initiative behind the development of these resources, introduce the Virtual Learning Series and Toolkit, and explore strategies for using these resources to more holistically serve clients with substance use histories.
