FORGE — Trans IPV/Sexual Violence

Domestic Violence · New Jersey · Free

National organization supporting trans, gender non-conforming, and non-binary survivors of violence. A starting point for safety planning that accounts for LGBTQ+-specific risk patterns. Therapy groups for LGBTQ+ DV survivors are usually free, meet weekly, and meet either in person or online. LGBTQ+ IPV rates equal or exceed straight rates — but only ~30% of survivors access mainstream services because of past discrimination. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ New Jersey residents and the people supporting them.
