Webinar 1: Understanding Gender-Based Violence in LGBTQI+ Communities Pt. 1

Who

This webinar series is for staff, supervisors and administrators who work in local districts, private nonprofit agencies, municipalities (city, county and state), HRA, ASC and other professionals providing assistance to survivors of gender-based and domestic violence.

What

In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, OPDV will be hosting an interactive webinar series thoughtout the month of October.

The series will focus on understanding the impact of gender-based violence on the LGBTQI+ communities. We invite you and your staff to join us at all four webinars to expand your knowledge on this important topic.

It is recommended to attend all four if possible as the information builds from the previous webinars. 

Understanding Gender-Based Violence in LGBTQI+ Communities Pt. 1

Gender-based Violence occurs in all communities, but survivors in the LGBTQI+ community have unique experiences. Participants will gain a broad understanding of domestic violence and stalking. Participants will also explore the unique ways power and control dynamics play out in LGBTQI+ relationships, its impact on survivors, and ways to support survivors and help them access resources.
