This month of October, we want to recognize Domestic Violence awareness month.
🟣Substance abuse and domestic violence often occur together- a constant cycle can increase both forms of abuse and harm.
🟣Alcohol is the substance most commonly associated with domestic partner violence
🟣Substances do not cause the harm - it can increase risk but the responsibility for behavior remains with the perpetrator.
🟣Survivors are at risk of developing a Substance Abuse - as use of coping for trauma, depression, anxiety, and other symptoms.
