Substance use coercion and problematic substance use are common challenges faced by victims of domestic violence. Victims may also be involved in other crimes as a result of substance use coercion and/or domestic violence. But crime victim service providers are often not equipped to address substance use and vice versa. As an organization with both domestic violence and substance use disorder programs, Missions Inc. Programs is in a unique position to address the intersection of these issues for the people we serve. During this presentation, staff working in both areas will share data and anecdotal experience to illustrate how providers across fields can better address these intertwined issues for clients.
Presenters: Veronica Hardaway, Missions Inc.’s Hart House Program Manager; Elsa Swenson, Missions Inc.’s Home Free Community Program Manager; Sarah Busch, Community Engagement & Outreach Manager at Missions Inc. Programs
