When we talk about family violence we mean all families and relationships, no matter your sexuality or gender, but when it comes to research data and the focus of our attention in the family violence narrative, that has been about heterosexual family violence.

So where then, do the LGBTI communities fit in the narratives of family violence?

The Victorian Government is provided funding of almost $100,000 for a ground breaking participatory project to help prevent family violence in LGBTI relationships to help to change this.

The grant will allow Women’s Health East to work with young LGBTI people to investigate and co-design appropriate and relevant resources that will support the development of respectful relationships across the state.

Dean Arcuri found out more as he spoke to Kristine Olaris, the CEO of Women’s Health East and Lara, the project lead for the new LGBTI Family Violence Preventions Project for Women’s Health East.

This segment aired on The Informer on JOY 94.9 on 10th July 2018 & was hosted by Dean Arcuri.
