Description: Substance abuse and addiction impacts individuals, interpersonal relationships, and the community at large. The connection between alcohol and domestic violence has long been established, but what about other drugs? This program will examine the link between opioid addiction and interpersonal violence. Although there are significant differences in terms of progression, treatment, and outcome, addressing drug use within relationships involves an understanding of the unique aspects of opioid addiction, how it develops, and best practices for treatment both individually, and relationally.   

• Understand how to identify the link between opioid use and violence within interpersonal relationships. 
• Learn how opioid addiction and alcohol abuse impact intimate relationships differently. 
• Become familiar with the red flags signaling predisposition to opioid addiction. 
• Learn the difference between opioid use and abuse, and the respective impact on violent behavior.  
• Develop best practices to determine different methods of intervention to stop the cycle of interpersonal violence stemming from opioid use.

Description: This one-hour, interactive training will teach you Hollaback!’s 5D’s of bystander intervention methodology. We’ll start by talking about the types of disrespect that LGBTQIA+ folks are facing right now — from microaggressions to violence — using a tool we call the “spectrum of disrespect.” You’ll learn what to look for and the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals and communities. We’ll talk through five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize your own safety while intervening. We’ll have time at the end for practice, and you’ll leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see anti-LGBTQIA+ harassment.
