Linking Support on Intimate Partner Violence and Substance Use
January 25, 2022 @ 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. ET
Presented by: Nancy Poole, PhD, LLD (Hon), Director, Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health & Lindsay Wolfson, MPH, Manager, Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health
The links between intimate partner violence (IPV) and substance use are complex and rates of both have risen during the COVID-19 pandemic, with potentially enduring effects on women’s health. This webinar will describe the evidence on the connections between substance use and IPV and promising practices for integrating support on the two issues. We will share an infographic and two information sheets that can be used by social workers to increase awareness and action on substance use and IPV.
This Webinar is FREE for Ontario Registered Social Workers (RSW), Registered Social Service Workers (RSSW) and Students of Social Work and Social Service Work Programs. Please note: If you are not an RSW, RSSW or student of these programs in Ontario, you may still attend but will be charged a nominal fee of $15.
