- The Saint Louis Anti-Violence Project has conducted field research
talking to local LGBTQIA+ survivors of violence about their
experiences, provided training to local anti-violence and violence
prevention agencies to become more LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and have
established ourselves as advocates for LGBTQIA+ survivors of
violence within anti-violence communities.
- What is
- STLAVP?
St. Louis Anti-Violence Project offers a certification
through our LGBTQIA+ Anti-Violence Training and
Technical Assistance (LATTA). Organizations certified
have completed the below process ensuring their
agency provides a safe and inclusive space to
individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community who have
faced relational and sexual violence. This process is
composed of an:
- Assessment that includes the review of several
components of an organization such as, but not
limited to, policies and procedures, marketing, and
staff training. - Intervention which builds on the assessment and
allows us to create a customized growth plan for the
organization. - Evaluation to guarantee that the agency has met the
recommendations and is eligible for certification.

“ALIVE partnered with AVP because we value
inclusion, diversity, and respect of all
survivors of intimate partner abuse. We
wanted to make sure our behaviors, policies,
and environment reflected this value system.
We appreciated AVP's expertise in evaluating
our agency, plus we trusted their guidance to
help us make recommended
improvements.”
