LGBTQ+ survivors of IPV are more likely to seek help from a psychotherapist than they are from domestic violence agencies. However, most psychotherapy graduate programs lack training in how to serve LGBTQ+ people experiencing violence. This three-part workshop will offer providers tools to screen for IPV and create culturally competent safety plans with clients. Participants will gain an understanding of the unique social, cultural, and institutional barriers LGBTQ+ survivors face.
