Extended Client Services

For LGBT people in need of further assistance, CAVP can help with court accompaniment, system advocacy, and short and long term case management. We identify and coordinate resources, as well as maintaining lists of therapists, service agencies, and attorneys who have experience with LGBT people and issues.

Training and Education

CAVP helps train professionals who work with LGBT people and with victims of violence to understand the experiences and needs of our community.

We provide technical assistance and case-by-case consultation to law enforcement and service providers when individuals from the LGBT community are the victims of violence.

CAVP also educates generally about cultural competency for service providers and the dynamics of partner abuse and hate crimes. We participate in cross-training with other service providers and agencies to raise awareness in others and ourselves.

Prevention and Outreach

CAVP has developed a series of posters, pamphlets, palm cards, wallet cards, bumper stickers, matchbooks and other tools to help us in our outreach efforts.

We poster in bars, speak at meetings of LGBT organizations, and sponsor events that publicize the problem of violence within and against our community.

As we continually educate the LGBT community about violence prevention, safety issues, and resources, we raise community awareness that builds support for survivors and accountability for perpetrators.
