LGBTQ+ Institute on IPV

Domestic Violence · New Jersey · Free

National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs — LGBTQ+ specific intimate partner violence resources. Worth contacting if a provider refused you DV services because the abuser was the same gender. Shelter access for LGBTQ+ survivors is available in most cities — call ahead to confirm welcoming policies. Same-sex IPV often gets mis-categorized as 'mutual combat' by police unfamiliar with abuse dynamics; LGBTQ+-trained responders fix this. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ New Jersey residents and allies.
