Individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ often experience intimate partner and sexual violence at higher rates. Are you interested in learning more about how to be inclusive?
New Directions offers a free LGBTQ+ 101 training, called SafeZone. LGBTQ+ folks sometimes question whether they will feel safe, welcomed, or supported in a new environment. There is a pressure to already know how to be LGBTQ+ inclusive. And while many of us want to be, we don’t necessarily feel comfortable with the language, with our own level of understanding, and don’t know where to go to learn more. SafeZone trainings are safe places for people to get more information.
