Tools for Equality and Inclusion

  • SUPPORT TRAINING

    Are you a nonprofit organizations, police officers, healthcare workers, and for-profit businesses with a passion for employee and customer experiences? From bystander intervention and workplace accountability to the specific experience people across the LGBT+ spectrum have while interacting with your niche services, we are here to support you on your journey to the best community care.

    Let our mental health service staff help you explore the intersections of sexuality, gender and victimization as they relate to your profession area. Our team is available to provide a four-part training series to different nonprofits, businesses, and community service organizations across the tri-county area. Join us as we start at the basics, reflect on our individual organization needs, and take steps to improve our roles as community services and providers.

  • COMMUNITY EDUCATION

    Are you in a group like a block club, student organization, church, LGBT+ or other social group? Rather you are here to be an ally, to be inclusive of all members, or to give your LGBT+ specific group the tools to thrive, we are here to help!

    From bystander intervention and community accountability to sexual and gender identity 101 and breaking down the myths, many community organizations have begun to recognize a need for additional support in assuring the comfort and care of LGBT+ people, let’s begin exploring this together! For LGBT+ specific groups, let’s have a conversation around thriving in relationships, intimate and personal, and healing through self-care.
