Family Violence Prevention and Services/ Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Questioning Institute on Intimate Partner Violence: Intimate partner violence is a significant health and social problem among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, questioning and two-spirited communities and has serious physical health, mental health, and social consequences for its victims, their families, communities, and society-at-large. However, victims of intimate partner violence continue to face barriers when seeking trauma informed and culturally competent services to prevent and address such abuse. The intent of the Family Violence Prevention and Services Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) Institute on Intimate Partner Violence grant program is to expand and enhance the capacity of both domestic violence and LGBTQ-specific organizations to more effectively identify and respond to the unique needs of LGBTQ intimate partner violence victims.
The successful applicant will be expected to:
Inform the development of LGBTQ-specific intimate partner violence prevention and intervention strategies including screening and on-going assessment that can be replicated in local domestic violence and LGBTQ programs;
Develop technical assistance resources, including promising practices, guidelines, information on evidence-informed, trauma-informed, and culturally-relevant programming to support LGBTQ individuals, families, and communities impacted by domestic violence;
Provide an array of training, expertise, problem-solving strategies, and other forms of technical assistance to federal, state, and local governments, tribes, tribal organizations, domestic violence service providers, community-based organizations, LGBTQ service providers, and other professionals and interested parties, related to intimate partner violence intervention and prevention services for LGBTQ victims and their children;
Assess the needs of culturally-specific LGBTQ sub-populations and provide innovative, evidence-informed, and culturally-relevant approaches to serving these communities; and
Expand partnerships and collaborations between domestic violence providers, LGBTQ-specific organizations, social service agencies, and public health organizations.
