Working at the Intersections of Domestic Violence, Mental Health, and Substance Use |
While it has long been recognized that domestic violence can have significant mental health and substance use-related effects, the lack of collaboration between systems often leave survivors and their families without ways to address both safety and recovery needs. In order to address these intersecting issues, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Administration for children and Families (ACF) issued an Information Memorandum calling for increased collaboration between domestic violence, mental health and substance use disorder treatment service providers and systems.
This webinar series will introduce key issues highlighted in the Information Memorandum, share recommendations and resources for supporting individuals and families experiencing domestic violence, provide examples of innovative state-level collaborations, and offer concrete strategies for service systems and organizations on responding to these intersecting concerns.
All live webinars were closed captioned. For more information, please contact Karla Alegria via email by clicking this link or via phone at 312-726-7020 or 312-957-0449 (TTY).

In March 2019, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and Administration for Children and Families (ACF) issued a joint Information Memorandum calling for increased collaboration between domestic violence, mental health, and substance use disorder treatment service providers, organizations, and systems. The Information Memorandum addressed the fact that while domestic violence has significant mental health and substance use related effects, the lack of collaboration between service systems often leaves survivors and their families without viable ways to address both safety and recovery needs. Building on NCDVTMH’s October 16th webinar introducing the joint Information Memorandum, the second webinar in this series will highlight collaborative partnerships in two states, Maine and Alaska. This webinar will also highlight concrete strategies for service systems and organizations on implementing collaborative responses to these intersecting concerns.
Who should attend?
This webinar is designed for State Mental Health and State Substance Use Disorder Treatment Directors and staff; State Family Violence Prevention and Services Administrators and staff; state, territory and tribal domestic and sexual violence coalitions; and for organizations and practitioners working in the domestic and sexual violence, mental health, and substance use disorder treatment and recovery fields.
