All survivors deserve to be safe and have access to supportive resources. This month is Pride Month. Members of the LGBTQ+ community often experience specific barriers when accessing safety, such as limited access to LGBTQ+-specific resources. Additionally, some abusive partners may use the survivor's identity to further harm and isolate the survivor.

Domestic and sexual violence support organizations can help connect survivors to resources that meet their needs. Visit mocadsv.org/How-to-Get-Help/ to find resources near you.

For a little over a month, our Gentry/Worth County Victim Advocate, Sherry has attended a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training. Not only did she train first responders, mental health providers, the prosecutor, and law enforcement about good domestic and sexual violence response, but she also got to listen to and be trained by several of the other people who work in crisis response every day. It really takes a team to better help others. It’s been a great few weeks of learning from each other.
