This six-module course offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to addressing substance use and interpersonal violence through theoretical integration, applied assessment, and clinical reasoning. Drawing from psychological, sociological, developmental, and systems-based frameworks, participants will analyze how intersecting factors contribute to client behavior and treatment needs.
Modules progress from foundational theories to advanced case conceptualization, using structured tools such as the ASAM criteria and the IPVRN framework. Through case studies, readings, and media, learners will evaluate patterns of harm, understand the impact of violence on individuals and families, and apply culturally responsive strategies for treatment planning.
Designed for professionals in counseling, social work, criminal justice, or related fields, this course provides interdisciplinary tools to understand and respond to the intersections of substance use and interpersonal violence. Through theory, assessment models, and case-based application, participants will build practical, culturally informed strategies for evaluation and intervention.
