Learn from the experiences of these program sites to develop better
services for women with co-occurring disorders and histories of
violence This book explores the efforts of the Women, Co-Occurring
Disorders and Violence Study to address the significant lack of
appropriate services for women trauma survivors with co-occurring
mental health and substance use disorders. Experts describe the
services integration programs of nine participating sites that
address the multiple needs of these women. In this guide, you will
find useful strategies for integrating services that are responsive
to the strengths and needs of the individual as well as the
community. This vital resource examines howover a period of five
yearssites designed, implemented, and evaluated their
interventions. You will learn how sites developed their strategies
for integrating services at both the clinical/individual level and
at the services or systems level. The book also shows how
