Students who identify as LGBTQ+ are affected by violence at much higher rates compared to their cisgender, heterosexual peers. In this workshop, we will discuss the unique challenges that LGBTQ+ survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, family violence, stalking, and harassment face. The presentation will also provide faculty and staff the tools to respond to disclosures from LGBTQ+ survivors in an affirming and inclusive manner, equipping them with resources to best serve students.
