Wear It Purple® Day Training Webinar: Intro to Supporting LGBTQIA+ Youth | Minus18
Join the Minus18 Education Team for a live-streamed professional development webinar in the lead-up to Wear It Purple® Day!
On the last Friday of August, we celebrate Wear it Purple® Day a day dedicated to celebrating LGBTQIA+ youth, and proudly standing with queer young people in the face of discrimination.
As Australia’s charity improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth, Minus18 have devised a virtual training event to equip the whole community with the knowledge needed to support LGBTQIA+ young people and champion inclusion. Whether you’re levelling up your LGBTQIA+ allyship as a teacher, youth worker, service provider, workplace or even parent or family member, this in-depth training will equip you with the LGBTQIA+ knowledge you need.
What will be covered:
- An overview refresher on the differences between sex, gender and sexuality.
- Evidence based barriers LGBTQIA+ young people face.
- Pronouns – what are they and why are they important?
- How to apply inclusive language and create an inclusive culture.
- Practical tools and tips to support LGBTQIA+ young people.
