Evidence-Based Integrated Treatment Approaches for Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence, Trauma, and Substance Use

Learn how prioritizing safety in relationships, thinking patterns, behaviors, and emotions lays the groundwork for healing and recovery. This session explores evidence-based strategies for safety planning with survivors impacted by substance use coercion, with a focus on integrated approaches that support both trauma recovery and substance use treatment simultaneously. 

Drawing from the “Seeking Safety” and “Helping Women Recover” models, participants will gain insight into how self-defined safety, self-compassion, and connection can promote resilience and support long-term recovery.

Presented by Gabriela Zapata-Alma, LCSW, CADC, Associate Director of the National Center on Domestic Violence, Trauma, and Mental Health
