Trevor Ally Training
The Trevor Ally Training provides a basic framework of understanding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) people and the unique challenges they often face. This training is designed to create dialogue regarding what it means to be an ally for LGBTQ people by informing participants about terminology used in the LGBTQ community, the process of “coming out” as an LGBTQ person and a discussion of the challenges faced by LGBTQ folks in the world. Through activities, participants are encouraged to explore their own biases, build their knowledge and understanding and develop empathy. In addition to providing this framework, the Trevor Ally Training offers specific action items to improve the environment for LGBTQ people.
After participating in this training, participants will be able to:
- Describe various terminology related to LGBTQ communities
- Explain the unique challenges facing LGBTQ people
- Identify ways to create safer and more supportive environments for LGBTQ people
- Discuss the services offered by The Trevor Project
