“Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.”
THICH NHAT HANH
I offer tailored training to community groups, organizations, businesses, schools, institutions, congregations, and agencies seeking to create and sustain more equitable and inclusive spaces for LGBTQIA+ clients, personnel, and stakeholders.
Training topics include: LGBTQIA+ identities, relationships, allyship, conflict resolution, crisis intervention and de-escalation, trauma, trauma-informed care, advocacy, systemic oppression, sexual and domestic violence, sex work & trafficking, feminism, client-centered care, harm reduction, BDSM/kink, polyamory/consensual non-monogamy, safety planning, transformative and restorative justice.
Disclaimer: Let us together recognize that learning to become more open and accepting of LGBTQIA+ folks is a process occurring on a spectrum. At one end of this spectrum are those who hold hatred, bigotry, and malice toward my community. My services are not intended for these individuals. I want to work with folks who want to do the work. However, I aim to inspire, not convert, so folks don’t have to be at the other end either. Together, we’ll determine what makes the most sense for your group. Let’s talk.
