Working LGBTQ and/or HIV-Affected Survivors or Intimate Partner Violence at Family Justice Center

LGBTQ and/or HIV-affected people experience IPV at least as often as anyone else, but they face significant barriers to accessing safety, support, and services. This workshop will illustrate how first responders and mainstream service providers can best to identify, serve, and support all survivors, across the spectrum of sexual orientation and gender identity. Specific attention will be given to how to create safe spaces at Family Justice Centers that welcome and affirm LGBTQ survivors of IPV.
