June is LGBTQIA Pride Month. Everyone in our  local and global communities deserves to be treated with respect and have supportive relationships, where consent is part of ongoing, healthy communication. Sadly, Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) happens in relationships of any kind, with all types of people. LGBT survivors of IPV are also impacted physically, emotionally, mentally and financially, but abusers may reinforce their tactics of power and control with other methods, including threats of “outing” or isolation, to make it more difficult for a survivor to leave safely or get the help they need. Call us for more information on free services for people of all genders, gender identities and sexual orientations, including crisis counseling at 340.773.9272.
