Join us on Wednesday, August 19th as the AVA Webinar Series presents Sexual and Gender Minority Experiences of Intimate Partner Abuse and Help-Seeking: Insights from a Systematic Review, featuring Dr. Zack Marshall and Noah Ulicki from the University of Calgary.

🗓️ Wednesday, August 19th, 2026

⏰ 12 – 1:30pm MST

Intimate partner abuse (IPA) occurs in sexual and gender minority communities at rates comparable to, and in many cases in excess of, those in cisgender heterosexual communities, with most demographic groups showing rates of experiencing physical and sexual violence in excess of 50%. Despite this, formalized prevention and response services often exclude 2S/LGBTQ+ communities from accessing support. This session will highlight results from a recent systematic review including what we learned about help-seeking experiences, conceptualizations of intimate partnerships, and implications for IPA research methods.
