Learn & Grow By Talking
A Free Training Curriculum for LGBT+ Allies
DESCRIPTION
How can a person be a better ally to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or who otherwise belong to similar, marginalized groups?
Some Heritage Universalist Unitarian Church members have developed training to address this topic, consisting of a one-day, interactive workshop with optional, follow-on discussion sessions. The training focuses on what individuals can do to be better allies. The curriculum is available to download and use for free.
Some of the main topics of the workshop are:
- terminology and language,
- what LGBT+ folks experience,
- avoiding unintended hurt,
- changing minds and hearts,
- becoming an upstander (as opposed to a bystander), and
- making a Personal Action Plan.
