The LGBTQ Center Long Beach is committed to building a healthy and violence-free community. One of the many ways the Center does this is through our Healthy Relationships Services Program, which provides LGBTQ-specific, inclusive, and affirming support to individuals affected by domestic violence. Our team can conduct an intake with community members and we can work with you to determine the best fit for resources.
Domestic Violence/Intimate Partner Violence is defined as a systematic pattern of behaviors in a relationship by a person attempting to gain or maintain power and control over another individual. These behaviors may include physical, mental, verbal, sexual, financial, and emotional abuse.
According to the CDC, LGBT individuals experience similar, if not greater, rates of intimate partner violence over the course of their lifetime.
