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 two-day workshop aims to bridge the knowledge gap for those not specifically working in the GBV field and provide crucial information about the dynamics of IPV, the barriers LGBTQ+ survivors face when seeking traditional care, safety planning, and trauma-informed approaches to supporting 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.

For accessibility and interpretation requests, please contact Keilani Garcia (she/they) at [email protected] at least two weeks before the training date.

May 21st, 11am-12:15pm PT (2pm-3:15pm ET)
