Session Description: At least 4.2% of Marylanders identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender.

The people around and within these communities must be prepared to respond to intimate partner violence appropriately and in a way that recognizes how abuse can impact members of LGBTQIA+ communities differently.
In this training, you’ll learn how to respond with cultural humility, kindness, and empathy when working with LGBTQIA+ survivors of intimate partner violence, and examine the specific barriers these communities may face when seeking help.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this presentation, the participant will be able to:
- Define cultural humility and implicit bias
- Describe ways intimate partner violence impacts LGBTQIA+ communities
- Identify barriers LGBTQIA+ survivors may face in accessing comprehensive survivor services
- Demonstrate effective ways to work with LGBTQIA+ clients
