Training Service Providers to Identify and Overcome Service Barriers in Working with Transgender IPV Survivors
Training Service Providers to Identify and Overcome Service Barriers in Working with Transgender IPV Survivors
For more than a decade, FORGE has been training victim service providers on how to better meet the needs of transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming survivors of intimate or sexual violence. This chapter synthesizes what FORGE has learned about the barriers between transgender intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors and IPV service providers, and best practices in training approaches and techniques, including why FORGE has chosen not to present an oppression model in its training approach. Particular attention is paid to cognitive adaptations service providers need to make to adapt a service system that is literally based on a traditional gender binary so that it can respectfully serve nonbinary and transgender survivors.
