Framing Sexuality and Identity to Better Serve Victims and Survivors

8:30am - 5:00pm

PRESENTER:

• Robyn Ochs

Identity and sexuality are complicated. What do recent studies show about how people self-identify? What does this data reveal or conceal? In this experiential workshop we will employ several workshop exercises to deepen our own understanding of sexual orientation labeling. Included in our focus will be identity journeys over time; emerging identities; the complex interaction between gender identity and sexual orientation labels; and the effect of our individual location (including nationality, geography, age, race, religion, and more) on how we identify. We will focus on bisexuality and other non-binary sexualities in order to better understand the specific issues and disparities – including very high rates of intimate partner violence – experienced by this segment of the population.
