Toward a Safe Place
The Toward A Safe Place project aimed to increase awareness, information and training about LGBTIQA+ people’s experiences of domestic and family violence.
Catalyst Foundation, in partnership with Bfriend (Uniting Communities) and Pride of the South created a booklet and services flyer for LGBTIQA+ communities to find information about the issue of domestic and family violence and where they can get support in South Australia.
