Building Safer Spaces for Sexual & Gender Minorities - Part 2
“I learned about the need for ALL people (including folx with ID/DD) to explore their gender and sexual identities, as well as approaches to support youth through this exploration.”
Description:
Many organizations who are open and supportive of LGBTQIA+ people still unintentionally participate in thoughtless, discriminatory, or even oppressive practices in the day-to-day operation of their work. Making changes to be a more mindful, inclusive, and empowering place to work and seek services will help your organization thrive, build morale, and bolster retention of both clients and staff.
