Domestic & family violence | Episode 3
Episode 3
Tuesday, 16 February, 2021

If one of your LGBTI+ patients were experiencing domestic & family violence, would you know how to pick it up? Would you know what to do to support them? 1 in 3 LGBTI+ people experiences violence from a partner, ex-partner, or family member. Unfortunately, the research shows that LGBTI people are less likely to find support services that meet their specific needs. Dr Rhys chats with Ben Bjarnesen, an LGBTI+ Domestic Violence advocate, about domestic & family violence affecting the LGBTI+ community. In this episode we'll answer these questions: - What is domestic and family violence and what types of abuse are unique to the LGBTI+ community? - What challenges may LGBTI+ people face in seeking support? - How can healthcare professionals recognise when someone may be experiencing domestic and family violence? - What can healthcare professionals do if someone asks for help or support?
