Unified Care for Safer Lives
It’s all too common for domestic violence and substance use to be treated as separate issues, which often leads to patchy solutions. We really need to start looking at these problems together, creating strategies that keep victims and children safe. By focusing on comprehensive policies, we can tackle these complex challenges head-on.
When we truly grasp how substance use and domestic violence are linked, we can advocate more effectively for solutions that protect families and foster a healthier society. It’s crucial to break the silence that many victims endure. By having open conversations and building supportive networks, we can provide those in need with the resources to rebuild their lives and make our communities safer.
