The NW Network increases our communities’ ability to support the self-determination and safety of bisexual, transgender, lesbian and gay survivors of abuse through education, organizing and advocacy. We work within a broad liberation movement dedicated to social and economic justice, equality and respect for all people and the creation of loving, inclusive and accountable communities.

Our direct services, including emergency and ongoing advocacy-based counseling, all-gender support groups for LGBT survivors, safety and support planning, a hotline, and legal advocacy and resources, are all free and confidential. From housing, food banks and legal assistance to mental health programs and LGBT social support groups, NW Network advocates connect survivors and their families with the resources that meet their unique needs.

Our roots are in the community. LGBTQ people’s intimate relationships and experiences of victimization have been dismissed as marginal, unnatural or insignificant. As one of only a handful of LGBTQ-specific domestic violence agencies in the United States, we bring the experiences of LGBTQ people to the forefront of our work. We’re keyed into the complexities and full diversity of LGBT people. Regardless of your gender, identity, race, religion, cultural background or kink, we’re available for you.
