LGBTQ+ Affirming and Allyship Education

The Diversity Center offers a wide variety of trainings to help educate and sensitize your team on gender and sexuality issues. Among our presenters are medical providers, mental health professionals, and policy experts.
 
We can tailor a training to meet your particular business or organization’s needs.

  • Is your department wondering how to be more welcoming to your LGBTQ+ constituents?

  • Does your medical office staff want to learn best practices in serving transgender patients?

  • Is your congregation ready to have a discussion about where you stand on LGBTQ+ issues?

  • Does your organization want to be more effective in reaching LGBTQ+ community members?

 
Some of the topics our past trainings have addressed include:

  • Best practices for working with LGBTQ+ elders

  • Best practices for working with LGBTQ+ teens

  • Training for medical providers on transgender issues

  • LGBTQ+ Cultural Sensitivity
