Perspectives and Progress:Same Sex Domestic Violence Conference 2009
Research has shown that domestic violence is as prevalent among gay and lesbian communities as it is in the wider community. However, there remain significant gaps in data collection and issues with service provision and accessibility for people experiencing same sex domestic violence (SSDV).
The need to address the alarmingly high incidence of SSDV remains a real and formidable challenge. Within and beyond the LGBT communities are individuals with the knowledge, experience and skills needed to make significant headway in addressing the incidence and impact of SSDV.
The second bi-annual SSDV conference is an excellent and rare opportunity for all interested stakeholders to benefit from, and contribute to, the shared pool of expertise in this field. This will enhance the standards of clinical care, research and service provision. Through networking and sharing ideas we will be more able to identify and address the needs of the GLBT communities and individuals affected by SSDV.
The Same Sex Domestic Violence Interagency warmly welcomes your attendance.

When: Friday 11 September 2009, 9am – 4:30pm
