Our Training Services
The Network/La Red provides workshops, trainings, and consultation on lesbian/bisexual/transgender domestic violence, homo/bi/transphobia, and other oppressions to a variety of groups. We have bilingual (English/Spanish) educational/informational pamphlets on LBT battering, and we maintain a resource library on GLBT domestic violence. Materials are also available on audiotape.
Each training/workshop can
use a combination of lecture, interactive role plays, videos, personal accounts
of survivors of
LBT violence as well as handouts including suggested book list & websites, newsletters, and materials for staff &/or
survivors.
