Abstract

This Practice Resource is designed for any worker practising at the intersections of domestic and family violence, mental health, and alcohol and other drug use, with families who are challenged by any or all of these issues. It applies to those working in acute and longer-term therapeutic settings, community organisations and the broader health sector. This resource provides detailed guidance, examples, and tips, and is intended to support workers in their foundational knowledge and understanding for practice at these intersections. It can be used, for example, in training and supporting staff, as a foundational reference for practice development, and continuous improvement.
