What is Safe Zone Training?

The Safe Zone training was designed to create a safer, more welcoming and inclusive environment, to strengthen community responses to LGBTQ individuals seeking services and to encourage networking among allied professionals toward the goal of supporting the well-being of LGBTQ people. As a result of the Safe Zone training, participants will be able to:

  • Provide visible support and resources for LGBTQ individuals seeking services.
  • Offer a way for allies to indicate that they are safe contacts for LGBTQ people seeking services.
  • Promote increased awareness and understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity.
 
The training will be presented by:
