Network Meeting Agenda and updates

Hi all,

Couple of updates for you:
By now you would have received the calendar invite for our upcoming Network meeting on Thursday 29th October at 2pm (via Zoom). You can find the meeting agenda attached in the Events section below. For those of you who are new to the Network and have never attended a meeting before, it is a chance for those working in the family violence and LGBTIQ sectors to come together, get service updates, collaborate on projects and events which will improve service access for LGBTIQ victim survivors and perpetrators of family violence and network across the sectors.

We are bursting to the seams with ideas for forums, workshops and collaborative spaces for 2020-2021 and would love to hear from you all at the meeting as to what you're needing to continue improving the LGBTIQ family violence sector.

Also the LGBTIQ Homelessness and Family Violence Project has released a few video resources to help workers and LGBTIQ+ young people, which you can find below.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the next meeting on Zoom!

Warm regards,

Shamini Joseph
Chair
Queer Family Violence Sector Network
