Educational Training for Clinicians, Teachers, and Administrators

Trainings center sex positive, anti-racist approaches and attitudes for understanding mental health, sexual health, relationships, development, and LGBTQ youth and adults. Trainings are listed below and can be curated for particular audiences.

Queer & Trans Youth 101: Language, Change, and Possibility

 Queer and transgender youth make up a growing community in our society and schools. The training will deconstruct language and culture around lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and questioning youth. Current research on mental health, development, and supportive relationships will be presented. Specific skills will be taught for how to connect with and support the thriving of queer and transgender youth.

Becoming Sex Positive

Sex positive is an attitude grounded in openness, ethics, and health. Becoming sex positive requires we, as adults, clinicians and educators, begin with reflection about our own assumptions, shame, and miseducation about sexuality and gender. The training will lead participants through reflective exercises and to new sex positive perspectives. The training concludes with new skills for facilitating affirming and informed relationships with youth and each other. 

LGBTQ Affirming Best Practices in Healthcare

 Healthcare providers can provide life saving care for the LGBTQ community. Best practices for providing a positive and effective healthcare experience for LGBTQ patients. This training is for those in medical, nursing, mental health, and other allied healthcare professions.



Curated Training

Particular groups or agencies may ask for a training to be created or curated for their needs. For example, agencies working with refugee and immigrant families may ask for additional training on family dynamics and culture when youth from these families come out as part of the LGBTQ community. Additional prep time will be required for this curating the training but may aid in application of training to the context of the providers or educators.
