SOGIE SERIES #1 – Is Pride Overrated? Orientation, Identity, and Expression

SOGIE SERIES #1 – Is Pride Overrated? Orientation, Identity, and Expression

October 9th 9am-12pm

Youth and families show up in our professional work world in ways that are both familiar and unfamiliar. The task in how we provide support to those we serve in community and/or schools is to see, hear, and value all identities. How can we meet goals of reducing health disparities, increasing student success, implementing effective support strategies, and offering helpful resources, when we are not sure who we are working with or how best to help and encourage?
This professional development opportunity will offer contemporary scholarship, national data, and credible resources as well as tips and techniques for understanding and supporting LGBTQ+ youth and families. Participants will hear from experienced educators who provide direct prevention services in the community and teach in various types of learning spaces. Participants are encouraged to evolve the conversation, bring comments, questions, and concerns so that we can fully explore the benefits of purposeful inclusion for Q+ youth and families.
