Objectives
Objectives of this manual include helping women:
- Recognize signs of substance abuse and victimization.
- Understand the relationship between the two.
- Learn about resources that can help them ensure their personal safety, heal from abuse, and recover from addiction.
- Integrate the philosophies employed by most substance abuse counselors and women’s advocates, so that women coping with both substance abuse and victimization can use both types of services without confusion.
