Kentucky Coalition Against Domestic Violence: When DV Perpetration, SUD, and Mental Health Meet (Part 1)
Kentucky Coalition Against Domestic Violence – KCADV has partnered with Safe and Together Institute to offer training for Batterer Intervention Program providers; we also invite you, SRAs, and other partners who feel this training would benefit them and their work. As we are all here for one common goal, to build safer communities, this training opportunity might be helpful to you. We invite you to both sessions to better understand BIP providers’ work, the possibilities for change, and the risks of not fully understanding how people using violence may manipulate providers even as they seek services.
Description: Many families affected by domestic violence perpetrators’ behavior have multiple, complex, intersecting issues. In the past, we might have referred to these as co-occurring issues. But the language of co-occurrence often does not give us a sense of how these issues interact. For example, listing the family’s problems is not as powerful as explaining how the domestic violence perpetrator interfered with his partner’s recovery. Using an intersections framework versus a co-occurrence framework, we increase perpetrator accountability, improve our ability to diagnose and treat each family member and strengthen our ability to help the adult and child survivors.
