Our LGBTQ+ Domestic Violence workshops (First in Ireland) challenge heteronormative constructs of domestic violence.

They facilitate a discourse of change in relation to domestic violence and coercive control whilst working within a collaborative framework and interagency approach to service provision.

These workshops provide a solid foundation for the development of policy in relation to Diversity, Inclusion and Equality in the workplace and are ideal for promoting health & well-being among staff.

All our training and workshop modules follow the 3 x R’s – How to Recognise, How to Respond and How to Refer male victims of domestic violence and coercive control.
