Our LGBTQIA+ youth are increasingly under
attack and subjected to constant bullying. Participants will learn how to
easily identify themselves as an ally: a port in the storm. Participants will
also receive resources and advice on how to navigate the troubled waters with
these formative young people. Bring your questions, concerns, and your fears as
we engage in meaningful dialogue so we can better support our LGBTQIA+ youth
and provide shelter in the storm. 1hr / 1 LEU
