Audience: KCSDV Member Program Advocates and Staff Only

Sponsored by:

KCSDV Banner


Date and Time:

Tuesday, June 20, 2023
1 – 2:30 p.m. (CST)

Training Description:

Statistics show that sexual violence disproportionately affects the LGBTQ+ community. However, advocacy programs may not always feel equipped to address the particular challenges LGBTQ+ survivors of sexual assault may face. In this interactive training, we will examine the impact of sexual violence on the LGBTQ+ community, discuss barriers to services and healing for LGBTQ+ survivors, and practice advocacy skills and safety planning with LGBTQ+ survivors.

Objectives:

As a result of this virtual training, participants will be better able to:

  • Discuss the impact of sexual violence on the LGBTQ+ community
  • Identify barriers, experiences, and considerations for LGBTQ+ survivors
  • Implement strategies for advocacy and safety planning with LGBTQ+ survivors

Presenters:
