Ensuring a Safe and Inclusive School Environment for LGBTQ+ Students
Apr 20 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
Virtual Zoom Event
How can we affirm and support LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning or queer) students and their families in schools? Although a lot of progress has been made in shifting public opinion in the last decade, LGBTQ+ students still face high incidents of bullying, harassment and discrimination, as well as higher rates of anxiety, depression and self-harm than their straight, cisgender peers. What can educators do to support these students and ensure they are given every opportunity to succeed?
This session will explore strategies on how to create a safe and positive environment to protect the civil rights and socio-emotional well-being of LGBTQ+ students.
