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.

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