Safespace Now Includes Incident Documentation Safespace is an LGBTQQ anti- violence organization that sup- ports queer victims of hate crimes, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Our organization strongly believes that a vast majority of the attacks against and within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning community are never reported. Even if victims and/or witnesses don't report incidents of violence and discrimination to the police, it is important that they report these incidents to SafeSpace — these reports underlie our organization's advo- cacy work and help us to define the problems and develop appro- priate responses. In addition to incident documentation SafeSpace also provides the following services to LGBTQQ survivors of violence. All of our services are free and confidential. ‘V Safespace Support Line — Victim advocates are available to answer your call from 10-6, Monday through Friday. We pro- vide emotional support, referrals, and advocacy to LGBTQQ sur- vivors of violence. V Direct Advocacy — Victim advocates are available to accompany you to court, the hos- pital, the police, or other agen- cies and to assist you in obtain- ing the services you need. V One-on-one support —- Victim advocates provide one-on-one support which may include safety planning, education, referrals, as well as emotional support. 12th 0 UTda nci ng Weekend A Lesbian & Gay Partner Dance Extravaganza, Salsa 0 Waltz 0 Swing 0 Latin 0 Two-Step -Tango 0 and more Workshops 0 Parties 0 Shows 0 Competitions No Partner or Experience needed!
