1-Day Workshop
LGBTQ, trans and gender fluid people are showing up at every stage of social identity from pre-school to seniors and are part of the fabric of every segment of our society. Still, claiming one's sexual identity is scary if LGBTQ - vulnerability, cultural disdain, peer exclusion and social isolation are key challenges for the person who identifies outside of the hetero-normative social structure.
In this highly interactive workshop, we will explore culturally responsive concepts and topics related to working with an LGBTQ population of students. Participants will walk away with a deeper understanding
of the range of people within the LGBTQ community who have always been a part of the human experience. You will examine language and labels, be challenged to give up pre-judgments, learn how to be an ally, gain greater comfort in interactions with the spectrum of LGBTQ identified individuals, and
create a welcoming environment for the LGBTQ community in your school.
