Mental Health and Substance Use Coercion Surveys Report from the National Center on DV, Trauma and Mental Health

The National Center on Domestic Violence Trauma and Mental Health has done a study on batterers' efforts to undermine victims' sanity and sobriety, to control their medication and treatment, or to sabotage their recovery and access to resources and support. This is considered to be another element of coercive control and can often lead to long term consequences for the victim.  Please read and disseminate the attached information to your local mental health and substance abuse agencies.
