Participants surveyed at St. Louis Pride were asked, “What do you think would be the most helpful for LGBTQ+ persons who are being abused by their partners?” Those in this survey could select their top three options from a list of potential supports. However, only 14% of respondents identified a domestic violence agency as a helpful resource. This workshop examines some of the causes behind that, identifies ways domestic violence agencies and shelters, in particular, can increase the visibility of their services for LGBTQ+ survivors, and works through inclusive intake practices.
