For LGBTQIA+

You Are Not Alone!

Our advocates provide our LGBTQIA+ clients with compassionate, aware and respectful advocacy free of homophobia and transphobia.

No Outing

“Outing” or threatening to reveal a person’s sexual orientation/gender identity may be used as a tool of abuse in violent relationships and can also be a barrier to getting help.
Our services are strictly confidential – you will not be outed.

No Othering

“Othering” refers to discriminating against someone based on their identity. We will not make assumptions. For example, we do not assume heterosexuality as normative. We will also ask and respect our client’s chosen pronouns and/or name.
Our transgender clients have access to all our services; including our safe house.
You will not be othered.
