Training Description
Creating a safe container of acceptance, nonjudgement, and belonging is critical for the well being of LGBTQI+ youth. In this workshop you will learn how to support LGBTQI+ youth in processing unaccepting attitudes, cultivating resilience, developing self awareness, and a strong self love. For system involved LGBTQI+ youth, mindfulness can be especially transformative by providing compassionate self awareness practices that can support them to navigate challenging circumstances and situations. You will gain tools to deepen your allyship to your clients, in a way that truly honors the intersectional layers of identity.
