Welcome - I'm so glad you're here!
This training is so important to me. One of my passions is to help others learn more about LGBTQ+ youth in order to foster more awareness and effective support options for this at risk population. The fact that you are here speaks volumes to me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
This is meant to be an introductory, know-the-basics type of training - it will focus on transgender and gender diverse youth specifically. There is SO much information out there, and it is ever evolving. If you or your organization want a more in depth training after completing this one, please reach out to me!
After you have completed Part I and II, make sure you complete the post course survey. Submitting this is what sends you your Certificate of Completion.
Additional content and resources are linked as well - please check them out!
Again, THANK YOU for being here and for the work you do!
