LGBT & DV issues: Survivor and Perpetrator Awareness



We examine how the power and control theories manifest differently in
LGBT communities, look at case studies, cultural contexts, and
misconceptions. The program also explores the concerns for
professionals when working with LGBT survivors and perpetrators of
domestic violence.



Aim:

The aim of this course is to provide participants with a firm
grounding in domestic violence issues within the context of LGBT
relationships. On completion of the course candidates will be able to
identify patterns of abusive behaviour, distinguish patterns and
support for survivor and perpetrator, have an increased awareness of
the impact of stereotypes, and improve practice with Broken Rainbow
endorsed risk assessment and safety planning.



Objectives:

A range of learning methods will be used in a workshop setting to
increase awareness of LGBT DV issues.
