Course Description
LGBTQ+101 - “I Am Me: Understanding the Intersections of Gender, Sexuality, and Identity” is an educational training video that explores the challenges that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, etc. (LGBTQ+) young people face, and how adults can be supportive allies.
The 46-minute video defines the concepts of gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, and provides an in-depth picture of how LGBTQ+ young people are marginalized in their everyday lives and the serious outcomes they face as a result. With personal stories from LGBTQ+ young people and adult advocates woven throughout, the main theme of adult allyship is exemplified through LGBTQ+ youth sharing how they need to be supported, as well as a helpful checklist at the end of the video on how to participate in acts of allyship for LGBTQ+ youth.
“I Am Me” and the accompanying toolkits were created by Communities of Care, a project of the New Mexico Children, Youth, and Families Department, in partnership with 12FPS and Jenn Jevertson of Prevention at Play. It won the Silver Award in SAMHSA's 2016 Excellence in Community Communications and Outreach in the category of Professionals.

Beyond Blue and Pink - Beyond Blue and Pink: An introduction to terms, best practices, and the creative navigation of binary systems for Trans/Gender Nonconforming/Non-Binary communities.
More Trans/GNC/NB people are coming out than ever before. This progression in Trans visibility means that families, peers, and community organizations are quickly needing guidance on how to best support Trans/GNC/NB people in a system not built for their needs. Jess Clark, the Education and Prevention Manager at Solace Crisis Treatment Center will lead an interactive discussion on basic terminology while re-framing common myths and exploring ways to move in solidarity with Transgender/Gender Nonconforming/Non-Binary communities.
