<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050">The National Center on Domestic Violence, Trauma & Mental Health (NCDVTMH) administered a brief survey to a pool of lawyers who represent
domestic violence (DV) survivors in custody cases. The survey asked lawyers about their experiences with the opposing party (the abusive partner) raising the survivor’s mental health as an issue in their cases. Although limited, the findings from this survey
suggest that it is extremely common for abusers to raise the survivor’s mental health as an issue in a custody case.
</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">The results of this survey are presented in this report, accompanied by brief analysis.

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050">While further research is needed to fully understand the intersection of mental health and DV in the context of custody cases, it
is our hope that the present survey will inspire more research and analysis, and ultimately, that a better understanding of these issues will help inform policy recommendations that will increase the safety and well-being of survivors and their children.

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050">While research suggests there may be a relationship between experiencing intimate partner violence and using substances, prevalence
studies tell us little about why this may occur. Recent research on substance use coercion provides insights into ways that abusive partners utilize the stigma surrounding substance use to further isolate, harm, and undermine survivors. This fact sheet highlights
key findings from prevalence studies and discusses them in the context of substance use coercion. It is a companion to NCDVTMH’s “The Relationship Between Intimate Partner Violence and Substance Use: An Applied Research Paper.”</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">At present, there are few, if any, documented LGBQT*-specific models of trauma-informed practice. These two companion documents on
Trauma-Informed Approaches for LGBQT* Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence - a Review of Literature and a Set of Practice Observations - were produced by the GLBTQ Domestic Violence Project through a grant from the Administration for Children, Youth and
Families, Family and Youth Services Bureau, US Department of Health and Human Services - to help support trauma-informed work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer and transgender (LGBQT*) survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV).
</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">The literature review helps set the context for thinking about trauma-informed practice for LGBQT* communities. The literature review
is organized into five sections. Section One focuses on the prevalence and dynamics of IPV in LGBQT* communities. Section Two focuses on trauma, mental health, and resilience among LGBQT* individuals to contextualize the critical need for trauma-informed practices
for LGBQT* survivors. Section Three focuses on the range of systemic, institutional, and individual-level barriers that thwart LGBQT* peoples’ access to informal and formal support services. The last section reviews the core principles of a trauma-informed
approach to practice, with attention to the needs of service providers who work with LGBQT* survivors, and provides examples of community-specific approaches to trauma.</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">The set of practice observations is intended to inform the development of a trauma-informed transformative justice approach specific
to LGBQT* survivors of intimate partner violence. It was developed in conjunction with the literature review and reflects the input of multiple stakeholders.</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">While these documents are intended primarily for staff in domestic and sexual violence organizations, they are also applicable to
practitioners in other anti-violence disciplines, homelessness services, mental health and healthcare circles, criminal legal systems, youth services, and an array of other human services disciplines and social change endeavors that seek to serve and ensure
the inclusion of LGBQT* communities.</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">NCDVTMH's webinar series on Trauma-Informed Responses to Emotional Distress and Crisis is designed to support DV/SA advocates in partnering
with survivors experiencing emotional distress, mental health crises, and/or psychiatric disabilities. The series provides an opportunity to explore existing frameworks for thinking about trauma and mental health and to examine our understandings of crisis
and distress. It reminds us that we are talking about people and the complex courses of their lives, not about categories, labels, or diagnoses. Finally, it discusses the knowledge, skills, practices, and reflective processes needed to support people with
a wide range of experiences of distress and ways of coping and being in the world.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#505050"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
This webinar engages participants in considering community-based mental health peer support services as a resource to support people in our programs who are experiencing emotional distress. We will look at the alignment between domestic and sexual violence
advocacy work and the principles and practices of peer support. We will also consider opportunities for cross-training, effective partnering and trauma-informed support for survivors.
