| Overlapping Issues: Domestic & Sexual Violence, Mental Health, Trauma & Substance Use |
Wednesday, December 12, 2018 @ 3-4:30pm ET (2CT/1MT/12PT)
|
Description: Many persons with substance use disorders have multiple vulnerabilities. Professionals must know the correlations, implications, and ramifications of these intersections. Clients have often experienced traumas, including domestic violence or sexual assault. Survivors of these crimes also experience trauma reactions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Some have pre-existing conditions, while others develop them as a result of the traumas. Many have turned to addictive substances to cope with ongoing abuse or traumatic memories of prior abuses. Best practices require competency to address substance use disorders and these vulnerabilities. This session will discuss overlapping concerns and hope to address them in partnership with victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Presenter: Julie Owens, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
Julie Owens, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor, has worked extensively with persons with multiple vulnerabilities, including pregnant and mothering women with substance abuse disorders, psychiatric patients, persons with autism and trauma survivors. Since 1990 she has worked solely in domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking.

She later spent three years serving victims with substance use and psychiatric disorders, creating a model response. Owens trains and consults nationally and internationally and serves as an expert witness.
