The Center Orlando exists to promote and empower the LGBTQ+ community and its allies through information, education, advocacy, and support.
Vision: Transcending the lives of those impacted by PULSE.
Expertise: When working with LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color, and other marginalized groups, it is essential providers acknowledge the numerous contextual barriers that exist for these communities as a function of their marginalization. The universal impact of violence can be compounded for the LGBTQ+ community, particularly if they experience poverty, food insecurity, housing instability, and chronic illness before the violence occurs.
