Experiencing domestic violence can have immense impacts on survivors’ physical and behavioral health (including mental health and substance use). Domestic violence advocates have a unique and important opportunity to support healing and resilience among survivors. This training will provide participants with an increased understanding of the intersections of health, behavioral health, and domestic violence, as well as health advocacy strategies and tools to promote survivor health and well-being.
This training has several potential uses for participants:
- Access the e-course available on The Learning Community in English or Spanish to increase knowledge and capacity
- Access the e-course and handouts as a train-the-trainer guide to present the content in their communities. Train-the-trainer resources include Slides with Notes, Training at a Glance, and Collaborative Resources.
- Incorporate the training into state and tribal domestic violence advocate certification training
