Domestic violence is a serious issue in society, but perhaps more so for mental health workers. Williamson (2000) reports that two-thirds of couples seeking couple therapy did not report domestic violence until asked, and that 40% to 75% of the children of abusers, in addition to witnessing parental abuse, suffer child abuse themselves.
Non-profit organization providing services to lesbigay, transgender, and HIV+ survivors of anti-gay incidents. Services also provided for domestic violence, police abuse, prisoner rape, queer teens, families, etc.
The vision of the NLA-I Domestic Violence Project is to create a national and international network to provide information, appropriate referrals, resources, and safe shelters for those in the world community who have been subjected to abusive and violent BDSM relationships and who are seeking a way out of those relationships or who require a more extensive support network than is otherwise available to them.
Providing information, resources, and free confidential services for lesbian, bisexual women, and transgender folks experiencing partner abuse. Bilingual and accessbile services available.
Truth: There is no reason to assume that gay men and lesbians are less violent than heterosexual men and women. Consequently, best estimates of same sex domestic violence are derived properly from the well-known statistics for battering in the straight community. At least 30,000 lesbians and 500,000 gay males are abused by their lovers each year in the United States.
