LGBTQ+ students are at greater risk for suicide and adverse health outcomes due to the discrimination, rejection, fear, and harassment they may face. In New York City, 1 in 3 transgender youth have seriously thought about taking their lives, and 2 in 5 report having made a suicide attempt in the past 12 months.1 Join us for a four-part professional learning series to support these youth: Finally Enough Love: Building Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender-Expansive (TNGE) Affirming Schools (opens in new window). In each 90-minute webinar, participants will gain foundational knowledge around identities, understand how to support TNGE youth in hostile learning environments, and practice using the TASP Resource Guide (opens in new window) —a comprehensive tool for supporting TNGE youth.
We strongly encourage participants to attend all four sessions; those who do will receive a certificate of completion for the series, in addition to CTLE credit.

Thursday, April 4, 2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. (CTLE 90 min)
