LGBTQ+ Institute on IPV

Domestic Violence · Virginia · Free

National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs — LGBTQ+ specific intimate partner violence resources. A starting point for safety planning that accounts for LGBTQ+-specific risk patterns. Crisis lines are 24/7, free, confidential — counselors are trained on LGBTQ+ IPV specifically. Same-sex IPV often gets mis-categorized as 'mutual combat' by police unfamiliar with abuse dynamics; LGBTQ+-trained responders fix this. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Virginia residents and allies.
