Family violence services

The Zoe Belle Gender Collective (ZBGC) can assist family violence services in developing their TGD inclusive practice and developing a feminist perspective for trans inclusion. This training aims to give individual practitioners and organisations an in-depth understanding of the specific types of violence experience by TGD people and how to support TGD people when accessing Family Violence services.

Note: The ZBGC recommends that this training is delivered in conjunction with Rainbow Health Australia’s “An Introduction to LGBTIQA+ Family Violence” training package.

Topics include:

  • Understanding TGD people’s identities and relationships
  • Respectful communication
  • TGD experiences of sexual violence, intimate partner violence and family violence
  • Identifying transphobia and transmisogyny as risk factors for family violence and service barriers
  • The latest research related to TGD people’s experiences of intimate partner and family violence
  • Inclusive practice tools to support TGD people
  • Feminist perspectives of TGD inclusion within the family violence sector.

As a TGD led and run organisation, all of our trainings and workshops are created and delivered by members of the TGD community.
