Safe Spaces for LGBTQ+ Individuals: How to Be An Ally

2019-05-05T14:00:01-04:00May 1st, 2019|Advocacy, Events, Training Opportunities|

The Safe Space workshop is a dynamic and hands-on approach to creating safe space for all; focusing specifically on the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQIA) community. From the classroom bully to the unintentional exclusion by the use of certain language, LGBTQIA people frequently find themselves excluded and uncomfortable in a variety of settings.

This workshop aims to reduce the often unwelcoming and even hostile environments in which LGBTQIA people navigate in their daily lives. Workshop participants will explore their role and responsibility in creating a more welcoming environment at work, school, and in our communities. All attendees will leave the workshop with greater understanding and workable solutions for promoting Safe Spaces of Respect, Acceptance, and Support for all.

Through the workshop participants will:

  • develop an understanding of the lived experiences of LGBTQIA people through current statistics and examples.
  • be able to identify sources of unwelcoming behaviours in a variety of settings.
  • become more familiar with and comfortable in using LGBTQIA-inclusive terminology.
  • learn to dispel negative stereotypes and develop strategies to create a more welcoming and inclusive environments for LGBTQIA people.
  • be able to recognize many of the issues and scenarios that LGBTQIA people experience in their workplace, community, or school and formulate effective responses.
