Diverse and Resilient's Room to Be Safe offers resources and support to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community members experiencing violence both in their communities and their relationships--whether that be in the form of intimate partner violence (e.g., verbal, physical, sexual, mental, financial), hookup violence (i.e., related to one-time encounters), sexual violence, or hate- or bias-motivated violence. We have a resource line to connect with LGBTQ survivors of violence across the state at (414) 856-LGBT (5428). Our website is www.diverseandresilient.org or www.roomtobesafe.org
