A heightened risk of domestic violence has been associated with infection-reducing measures undertaken by governments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Psychiatric services can play a key role in addressing this issue by (a) addressing certain risk factors for perpetration of domestic violence through, for example, assertive identification and management of substance misuse; (b) providing support, advocacy and treatment services for victims of domestic violence; and (c) mull-agency working to strengthen medical and social responses to domestic violence. At a time like this, it is important that mull-disciplinary mental health services are strengthened, rather than depleted, in order to address the pressing issues at hand.
