Intoxication does not explain abuse or assault, excuse a perpetrator’s behaviors, or justify a person being.
Ever wondered how domestic violence, sexual assault, and substance use disorders are connected? This episode of the Dawn Farm Addiction and Recovery Education Series dives deep into this intricate relationship. David Garvin and Barbara Niess May, experts in the field, bring their extensive experience to the table to unpack these complex issues. They highlight that while there's a strong link between these forms of abuse and substance use, it's not a straightforward cause-and-effect scenario.
Intoxication doesn't excuse abusive behavior or justify victimization. Instead, the focus is on understanding the tactics and beliefs of perpetrators to hold them accountable and ensure survivor safety. The discussion also covers crucial aspects like supporting survivors and effective intervention strategies. Whether you're directly affected by these issues or looking to broaden your understanding, this episode offers a compassionate and insightful look at a topic that impacts many lives.
