LGBTQ+ Services

Relationship abuse is as much of a concern in LGBTQ+ communities as it is in straight communities, but often is not talked about as much.

LGBTQ+ survivors deserve support that meets you where you are with care, compassion, and an understanding of how abuse may uniquely impact LGBTQ+ individuals.

We recognize that historically, LGBTQ+ individuals have experienced barriers to accessing mainstream domestic violence services.  At Safe Passage, we are committed to breaking down those barriers while holding ourselves accountable to responding to the needs of LGBTQ+ survivors as we continue to learn and grow with our community.

To contact with Safe Passage services, call our helpline at (413) 586-5066 from 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday.

All Safe Passage services are available to survivors who identify as LGBTQ+.

Safe Passage also offers the following specific programs and services for members of the LGBTQ+ community:

  • Our LGBTQ+ Counselor Advocate can provide:
    • Safety planning & emotional support
    • Guidance and referrals related to legal concerns, housing, medical concerns, and discrimination
  • LGBTQ+ Relationship Skills Class
  • LGBTQ+ Support Group. We are here for everyone who has experienced domestic violence or relationship abuse.
