LGBTQ Intimate Partner Violence – with ARCSHS

Family Violence

Dr. Gene Lim, Research Officer from the Australian Research Centre for Sex, Health and Society (ARCSHS) at La Trobe University joins the program to discuss how intimate partner violence impacts our LGBTQ community. Gene addresses implicit bias in healthcare settings, stigma, and prevalence of intimate partner violence in our community. We also discuss a new study looking at LGBTQ victim survivors of IPV, and how they access support services.
