Webinar: Domestic and family violence and intimate partner violence in LGBTQ relationships – a discussion on strengthening practice
This webinar will explore how the LGBTQ and DFV service sectors can strengthen referral pathways, practice and deliver appropriate DFV/IPV programs for LGBTQ communities.
Using practice expertise and research including the recently published ANROWS research, ‘Developing LGBTQ programs for perpetrators and victims/survivors of domestic and family violence’; the panel will discuss:
- how the “heterosexual face” of DFV creates a barrier to access for LGBTQ people seeking out DFV groups and behaviour change programs.
- minority stress and how it interferes with help-seeking among members of the LGBTQ communities
- what we can do to bridge this gap with inclusivity training within services providing DFV programs and developing formal referral pathways.
There will also be a live Q&A.
This webinar is designed for:
- practitioners and policymakers working within LGTBQ services and domestic and family violence services.
