About this event
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2022
Time: 12:30 PM – 5:00 PM
The learning outcomes for this training focus on developing capacity in:
- Identifying and responding to LGBTIQ+ intimate partner violence and family violence
- Integrating queer feminist thinking into FV/IPV Practice
- Further building into practice an approach that questions assumptions within a robust conceptual framework
This training brings together all the elements of queerspace’s current and evolving approach to practice in LGBTIQ+ family violence and intimate partner violence. This practice model:
- Embraces queer people
- Embraces intersectionality
- Moves beyond the gender lens, but isn’t about giving up gender as an effect of structures of patriarchy/power
- Draws on evidence
- Honors and builds on women’s responses to FV/IPV over past 50 years
- Values participants involvement, discussion and feedback as imperative to development of the approach
Who should attend:
family violence workers, specialist providers, mental health workers, community health workers, AOD workers, housing and homelessness service providers and anyone working with LGBTIQ+ people and their families.
