Shannon Fair, MS; Nelvin Cecil Howell, MFA; James A. McKenzie, MS
This engaging online training course will build capacity for supportive adults to provide a welcoming environment for all youth so they can experience an inclusive space and be invited to share in the totality of their identities.
Using a variety of learning activities and open discussions, participants will explore LGBTQIA+ history and how it impacts the LGBTQIA+ community today. They will learn about current language and terminology related to the LGBTQIA+ community, build awareness for specific challenges LGBTQIA+ youth face, and how to access available resources for allies and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
This comprehensive course will be held every Monday and Tuesday in October. Participants who complete the full course are eligible for CEU credit equivalent to 16 clock hours from the University of Oklahoma.
These Zoom sessions will be highly interactive. This training is not a webinar. To receive credit for this workshop, each participant must have their own device (tablet or computer), with the camera turned on and their face visible for the duration of the session.
