Substance use and domestic violence
This edition examines the complex relationship between substance use and domestic violence, and how this affects the family. Includes advice on safety planning and interviews with family support providers on how they deal with domestic violence issues.
This edition, produced in partnership with Making Every Adult Matter, looks at how multiple needs and exclusions - such as mental health and homelessness issues - can affect families affected by drug and alcohol use. Articles in this InPractice look at the issues, challenges and languages of multiple needs, 'what it's like' for the family, 'who does what' within services for people with multiple needs, the views of service providers and more.
