Be a Better Ally: Creating a 2SLGBTQ+ inclusive culture
Everyone has the right to feel safe, validated, and be their authentic selves. It is all of our responsibility to create a space where that is possible. This course provides an overview of one of the most important competencies today – cultural intelligence – and helps you develop the skills needed to support 2SLGBTQ+ communities, and eliminate existing barriers and harm within your organization and practice.
People who identify as 2SLGBTQ+ are increasingly part of the workforce and client base. Terminologies, concepts, and identities continue to evolve, and baseline competencies continue to elevate. Professionals must actively upskill or be left behind. This course addresses the practical and changing needs of professional practice and workplace wellness.
Be the ally you want to be, and the leader that others need you to be.
Objectives:
· Create a safer, more inclusive workplace for and with people within the 2SLGBTQ+ communities
· Become a better ally in reducing systemic barriers within your organization or practice
· Interact on a 1:1 basis and with your team in a way that is respectful and inclusive
· Understand why there are so many letters, e.g., 2SLGTQQIAA+… aren’t we all just the human race?
· Apply the concepts of gender and sexual identities, sexual orientation, and more
· Put allyship into action as well as know what you should avoid
