Fostering a Trans Inclusive Environment
Lunch and Learn

Space is limited to 30 participants – please register today!

Individuals who identify as trans* often experience discrimination and harassment based on their gender identity or gender expression. This can present them with significant barriers to accessing essential resources and services. This practical, interactive session will explore the experiences and challenges faced by trans people and will help you develop effect approaches for fostering a trans inclusive environment. Participants will also learn what steps they can take within their personal and professional lives to create more inclusive spaces and services for trans individuals.

The session will be facilitated by The 519 Church Street Community Centre. The Centre provides education and training programs that meet the needs of the local and broader LGBTQ communities. The 519 Hear It! Stop It! #nobystanders Inclusion Campaign and Education Curriculum challenges homophobic and transphobic language and provides organizations, LGBTQ community members and their allies with the resources to foster safe, welcoming and inclusive environments.

*Transgender (or trans) is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity differs from what is typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth.

Light refreshments will be served
