Training and Consultation
We proudly offer virtual and in-person trainings tailored for schools, community groups, businesses, human service agencies, healthcare, and mental health care providers. From technical assistance and consultation, to intimate group trainings and expansive workshops, our training initiatives are designed to be engaging and adaptable. Our trainers are professionally equipped to deepen the understanding of beautifully diverse LGBTQIA+ communities, empowering participants with tools and strategies to effectively contribute to creating more inclusive practices and progressive systems change.
An equitable future for LGBTQIA+ communities requires all of us to do the work deconstructing myths and systems that oppress and harm LGBTQIA+ folks, while becoming fierce advocates and more creative co-conspirators as we affirm and celebrate queerness in our communities.
