Research has repeatedly shown that LGBTQ+ survivors of IPV are less likely to access traditional domestic violence services and are more likely to seek LGBTQ+ affirming therapists and resources at LGBTQ+ centers.
This 2-day workshop aims to bridge the knowledge gap for those not specifically working in the domestic violence field and provide crucial information about the dynamics of IPV, the barriers LGBTQ+ survivors face when seeking services, how to safety plan, and trauma-informed approaches to supporting LGBTQ+ survivors.
Additionally, this workshop will cover safety considerations for providers and strategies to mitigate vicarious trauma. Participants will leave this workshop better prepared to serve LGBTQ+ survivors of IPV. Attendance for the entirety of both days is required.
For accessibility and interpretation requests, please contact Keilani Garcia (she/they) at kgarcia@lalgbtcenter.orgat least two weeks ahead of the training date.
