Identifying Abusive Relationships & Supporting Survivors
The workshop will give participants an understanding of what abusive relationships are, how to recognize them, and how to support survivors of them (including when that is yourself). There will be a bit of extra attention to issues particular to LGBTQ survivors of abusive relationships (who are typically left out of most analyses of abuse), but most of the workshop will be more general and geared towards everyone.
