Having problems with message search?
This is great – each of the recommendations is quite rich so how each is expanded out will be critical.
The only thing on my final scan I think might be worth noting up front in the “Recommendations Specific to LGBT Relationship Violence Assessment” section is that “Along with the physical, emotional, psychological, and economic tactics that perpetrators in heterosexual domestic violence might utilize, providers should be aware of unique forms of power and control that can be present in LGTB relationships such as, withholding of hormones and medications, threats of outing to co-workers, friends or family, attempting to belittle or intimidate partners based on gender-identity or expression, etc. Remember homophobia, transphobia, and mysoginism can be utilized in LGTB relationships to establish power and control.”
Or some better worded such sentiment.
You rock Pat! (Yes, I am that eighties – I still say things like “you rock”)

Roundtable Recommendations to GLMA/health care providers
Hi-- Attached fyi are the recommendations to GLMA and health care providers that we wrote based on the panel and discussion about this at the Roundtable. Thanks to Susan, Anna, Peter, and Delena for very helpful input and editing.
These are labeled as a draft because at this point they're only going to the funder (Blue Shield of CA Foundation), GLMA, and Roundtable participants. If anyone has thoughts on next steps for this piece, let's discuss and pass on to GLMA as appropriate.
Best,
Pat
