This interactive workshop is designed for audiences who would like to learn to better support their LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning) co-workers, friends and family. We will discuss a plethora of topics ranging from the difference between sexual identity and gender identity, to particular forms of minority stressors that disproportionately impact the LGBTQ community. We will explore ways to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all.

After this workshop we hope that you will have a better understanding of: 

  • LGBTQ Recent Terminology
  • Exploring Minority Stress’ Effects on sexual and gender minority peoples
  • Methods for Creating Inclusive Environments for LGBTQ peoples
