On the road to Bawnboy, Co. Cavan for another #lgbtawareness workshop :)

We're delighted to partner with COSC in launching a new awareness campaign about LGBT domestic abuse #lgbtdaconf

Many speakers today mentioned how LGBT people sometimes don't recognise domestic abuse in their own lives. #lgbtdaconf

Domestic abuse forms a "challenge for the discourse of happy alernative families" yet an important issue for LGBT wellbeing #lgbtdaconf

International research shows similar prevalence of domestic abuse between LGBT and non-LGBT couples #lgbtdaconf

Will domestic abuse services know about LGBT issues and will LGBT serivces know about domestic abuse? We need to work together! #lgbtdaconf

Hearing research from Lynn Cahill, Fergus Ryan, Sue Miner and Amy Roch. #lgbtdaconf

Trans victims of domestic abuse often worried about having to explain being trans when accessing services #lgbtdaconf

Bernie reinforcing the importance of inclusive advertising "we're so used to everybody meaning everybody except us" #lgbtdaconf

Important message to service providers from @amyrvaf - Make your advertising LGBT inclusive #lgbtdaconf

Providing an LGBT inclusive service provides a more inclusive, better service for everyone - @amyrvaf #lgbtdaconf

Problem isn't that service providers are bi/trans/homophobic but the perception that they are - @amyrvaf #lgbtdaconf

.@amenireland challenging the myth that men aren't victims of domestic violence. They are much less likely to reach out for help #lgbtdaconf

There's no perpetrator programmes for women in Ireland. They're focused on heterosexual men. #lgbtdaconf

Great to hear from service providers here today @safeireland @rcnireland @amenireland @womens_aid #lgbtdaconf #challengethestigma

An excellent first half of the LGBT Domestic Abuse Conference, closed by Amy Roch on Scotland's progressive inclusion policies #lgbtdaconf

Informative and powerful inputs so far from Cosc, Dundalk RCN, Dundalk Women's Aid and AMEN #lgbtdaconf #challengethestigma

@clicky_here Yes we are recording and should have at least an audio track up after the conference
