“The Intersectionality of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Substance Use/Substance Use Disorders” was presented on October 23, 2018; by David J.H. Garvin, LMSW; Vice President of Programs and Facilities for Catholic Social Services of Washtenaw County and Founder, Alternatives to Domestic Aggression, Catholic Social Services of Washtenaw County; and Barbara Niess May, MPA, MSW; Executive Director, SafeHouse Center. There is a strong correlation between domestic violence/sexual assault and alcohol/other drug use – and correlation does not equal cause/effect nor does it define personal responsibility. Intoxication does not explain abuse or assault, excuse a perpetrator’s behaviors, or justify a person being assaulted or abused. Domestic violence/sexual assault offender and survivor alcohol and other drug use will be central to this discussion. The audience will be provided with a primmer regarding perpetrator tactics, strategies, and core beliefs which hold the perpetrator accountable for abusive/assaultive behaviors while maintaining and promoting survivor safety. The program will help participants to recognize the critical importance of understanding the relationship between domestic violence/sexual assault and alcohol/other drug use and substance use disorders in order to safely and effectively intervene and/or interrupt the perpetrator's behaviors and support the survivor. This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a FREE, annual education series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about substance use disorders, recovery, family and related issues. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of addiction treatment and recovery support services.

Dr Paul Leighton has a way about him. His words are powerful, yet humble. I first met him when I was going through volunteer training at SafeHouse Center in Sept 2016 and he led a module on privilege. His commentary was like an air-conditioned room granting reprieve from a sweltering, humid summer day. I actually mentioned to him that if he started a podcast I would be an excited and grateful listener! Paul Leighton is the co-author, with Jeffrey Reiman, of The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison, 11th Edition. He is also the co-author of a book on private prisons, Punishment for Sale: Private Prisons, Big Business and the Incarceration Binge. His co-authored book, Class, Race, Gender & Crime is available in its fourth edition. His current interests are in whistleblowing, wage theft and a next-generation, high-tech Japanese rehabilitation center. He recently finished his term as President of the Board of SafeHouse Center, a domestic violence shelter and sexual assault crisis intervention center.   Some book recommendations: * Charles Terry's The Fellas: Overcoming Prison and Addiction* * Punished: Policing the Lives of Black and Latino boys by Victor Rios * Matt Tiabbi's The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap     To connect with Paul: * Twitter: @poorgetprison * Website: www.paulsjusticepage.com    * Blog: www.paulsjusticeblog.com

Upon finding out that a hopeful student affairs practitioner received an undergraduate degree in geology & math, the first question that many people ask is "why", generally followed by "what would you have done instead?" This talk will explore the idea that a STEM degree combined with a lot of undergraduate involvement can actually provide a student with a set of skills and perspectives that fit right into studying student affairs. Caroline Horste received her Bachelor of Science degree from EMU in April 2011 (professional geology with a minor in math) and is midway through an MA in college counseling. She currently works as a graduate assistant in EMU's department of Campus Life and volunteers with SafeHouse Center in Ann Arbor as a domestic violence crisis counselor as well as with Prince of Glory Church in Madison Heights as a pianist. Her future goals include being a counselor in a higher education setting focused on women's health and forever being an extreme rockhound hobbyist.
