accessible, culturally relevant, and trauma informed. They also discussed how to apply that approach in addressing more complex needs of survivors and their children, including mental health and substance abuse-related needs. Presenters and coalition staff
also identified ways that a trauma-informed approach is consistent with empowerment-based domestic violence advocacy. For example, a key element of trauma-informed thinking is exemplified by the shift from asking “what’s wrong with you?” to asking about “what
happened to you?” and what you have done to survive. </span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

and others are in a position to assist survivors in accessing DV-informed, trauma-specific services in their communities. Advocates may also be engaged in collaborative relationships with mental health providers through which they have opportunities to infuse
a DV perspective into existing mental health approaches. For these reasons, it is helpful for the DV field to be aware of the types of trauma treatments that are currently available, particularly models that are specifically tailored for survivors of domestic
violence, and to be aware of both the strengths and limitations of existing evidence-based treatments for trauma in the context of DV.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span></strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050;background:white"><br>
Recently I joined the staff of the National Center on Domestic Violence, Trauma & Mental Health (NCDVTMH) to provide training and technical assistance on substance abuse and domestic violence through a trauma-informed lens. Prior to joining the staff at NCDVTMH,
I had the good fortune to serve for over 20 years as both an advocate and substance abuse professional in Washington State and as coalition staff for the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. Back in the late 80s and early 90s, it was hard
to find a lot of written information on the intersections among domestic violence/sexual assault, substance abuse, trauma, and other psychiatric disabilities rooted in the experiences of survivors themselves. I was so very lucky to connect with Carole Warshaw
and other advocates, substance abuse professionals, educators, and coalition staff in Illinois who, early on, were also exploring how to best support survivors experiencing multiple forms of harm.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050;background:white">Talking together, we soon discovered advocates in our communities in Illinois, the Pacific Northwest, and Alaska
were asking us similar questions about addiction and mental health to help them provide better trauma-informed advocacy for domestic violence/sexual assault program participants in rural and urban areas. Debi Edmund and I wrote our first manual,
<em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Getting Safe and Sober: Real Tools You Can Use</span></em>, as a follow-up to the Illinois DHS manual,
<em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Safety and Sobriety, Best Practices in Domestic Violence and Substance Abuse</span></em>, in response to many of these questions. Both Carole Warshaw and Terri Pease from NCDVTMH provided technical assistance
and contributed material to support our efforts to get <em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Safety and Sobriety</span></em> and other useful
<em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Real Tools</span></em> ready for advocates to use.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

home states about how to support survivors dealing with addiction. Many of these questions (plus new ones) are still being asked today by advocates in rural and urban areas across the U.S. and Canada as well as by program participants themselves.

against another in the context of a custody battle. The theory starts from the obvious premise that separating parents are often derogatory about each other to the children. But the theory spins into ideology when it suggests that where children are reluctant
to spend time with their noncustodial father, they have been essentially brainwashed by an "alienating" mother. PAS/PA labeling of the mother is routinely used in court to reverse the focus from whether the abuse claims are true, to the assumption that a mother's
abuse claims are themselves a kind of emotional abuse (i.e., "alienation"). PAS/PA thinking thus is used to not only silence a parent who accuses the other of domestic violence or child sexual or physical abuse but also the children's own feelings and reports,
all of which are attributed to the mother's nefarious or pathological efforts. Sadly, PAS/PA (and similar) labeling has been implicated in the majority of cases where a court has ordered that an abusive parent be given unsupervised access to children.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050;background:white">Over the past 30 years, there have been numerous studies documenting the health and mental health consequences of
domestic violence. Intimate partner violence (IPV) can play a significant role in the development and exacerbation of mental health conditions, lead to poorer physical health, and influence the course of recovery from psychiatric illness. Many IPV survivors
also experience multiple types of trauma over the course of their lives, putting them at even greater risk for these effects. A trio of recent research reviews explores these associations between IPV and mental health and their implications for mental health
practice. </span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
