Untangling the Web: Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Substance Use

Intoxication does not explain abuse or assault, excuse a perpetrator’s behaviors, or justify a person being assaulted or abused.
Ever thought about how domestic violence, sexual assault, and substance use are interconnected? In this episode of the Dawn Farm Addiction and Recovery Education Series, David Garvin and Barbara Niess May take on these tough topics with clarity and compassion. They break down common myths, revealing that while there’s a strong link between substance use and abuse, intoxication never justifies violent behavior.
Garvin and May dive deep into the tactics used by abusers, emphasizing the importance of holding perpetrators accountable and ensuring survivor safety. They also highlight the critical role of affirmative consent, especially when substances are involved. This episode isn't just about understanding the issues; it’s about changing the way we think and act in our communities. If you’re looking to grasp the complexities of these subjects and learn practical ways to support those affected, this conversation is a must-listen.
