Families Against Abuse Batterer's Intervention Program

Happy Pride Month!!

I've attached a photo of the power and control wheel for LGBTQ+ relationships.
The LGBT Power and Control Wheel was developed by Roe and Jagodinsky. Adapted from the Power & Control and Equity Wheels Developed by the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project. 206 West Fourth Street, Duluth, Minnesota 55806.

Anyone- regardless of their identity, or that of their partner- can experience domestic violence. Misogynist gender roles, racial/ethnic stereotypes and institutional discrimination, and economic insecurity, put certain segments of the population at greater risk, such as women, BIPOC people, and those living in poverty. For LGBTQ+ people, these same social determinants compound with homophobic and transphobic stigma, creating even greater risk of domestic violence among the community.

LGBTQ+ women, trans people and non-binary people are equally as likely as their cisgender and heterosexual peers to have experienced domestic violence at some point in their lifetimes. The negative effects of domestic violence faced by LGBTQ+ people are exacerbated by the barriers they face to seeking help. 🌈

It's the first day of mental health awareness month! Mental Health America has put together some amazing work sheets and interactive tools to support more good days. I highly recommend checking those out!

I'm also posting one of my favorite tools for identifying your mood. Plot your emotions on the grid to increase your self-awareness, and practice how to better identify your feelings. Accurately identifying your emotions helps you honor them in a healthy way.
