Our LGBTQ+ Specific Trainings
 
The ABC’s of LGBTQ+

This is a 75-minute training that focuses on the basics of the LGBTQ+ community. This training includes information about different identities, the importance of language and labels, and how to be a better ally. If you’re curious about LGBTQ+ topics, have some questions that you’ve always wanted to ask, or wish to learn what all the letters mean, this training is for you.

How to Be a Trusted Adult

This is a 75-minute training that provides attendees with concrete steps and actions that you can take to prevent LGBTQ+ youth suicide. This training focuses on how to have conversations about LGBTQ+ topics, practices for creating validating spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, and how to respond when someone comes out to you. This is a vital training to prevent LGBTQ+ youth suicide, and we request receiving a QPR training alongside this training.
