LGBTQ awareness
Monday 10th February 10-1pm
Saturday 1st March 11-2pm
This 3-hour session is designed to help you expand or refresh your knowledge of LGBTQ+ identity. I have run these sessions many times with very positive feedback. I have worked with counsellors, youth workers, learning support workers and volunteers, so this training would be suitable for a wide variety of professions.
The session aims to:
- Create an understanding of the differences between sex, sexuality and gender and their fluidity.
- Build knowledge of how minority stress and societal reactions impact people.
- Explore intersectionality and microaggression.
- Help others to build resilience.
This session will be facilitated in an interactive and informative way. We will be doing some small and large group work throughout.
Two sessions to choose from:
- Monday 10th February 10-1pm
- Saturday 1st March 11-2pm
