An Online Resource Library on Gender-Based Violence.

It Takes a Village, People! Advocacy, Friends and Family & LGBT Survivors of Abuse

General Material
Published Date
December, 2013

Most survivors of domestic violence reach out to a friend or family member long before they attempt to access a social service agency for support, but friends and family may not know how to help a loved one who is being battered. This toolkit discusses the unique opportunities in LGBTQ communities for engaging friends and family in advocacy and provides advocates with practical strategies for doing so.
