Supporting Families Affected by Substance Use and Domestic Violence

Supporting families affected by substance use and domestic violence

This research report analyses how domestic violence and abuse is more likely than not to occur within intimate partner relationships where one partner has a problem with alcohol or drugs. The aims of this research project were:

  • To explore the views and perspectives of family members of substance users on the relationship between alcohol, drugs and domestic abuse.
  • To develop practice and policy recommendations based on these findings and the wider literature.
  • To establish what support and resources family members need on these issues.
