Social Worker Trains at Manhattan Borough President's Office
The Manhattan Borough President's Domestic Violence Task Force recently invited Day One's Social Worker, Michele, to present on issues facing LGBTQ youth experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). Michele partnered with the New York City Anti-Violence Project and the Ali Forney Center about legal and social interventions for LGBTQ youth experiencing IPV, the intersection of LGBTQ homelessness and IPV, and how LGBTQ youth IPV looks different than "straight" IPV.
