CANCELED: Spring 2020 Safe Zone Trainings

Standard Safe Zone

The Standard Safe Zone is a four-hour training is designed to introduce concepts, terminology and resources related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. There is a short intermission about half way through. Safe Zone trainees develop:

• A deeper awareness of personal ideas, stereotypes, and assumptions related to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and asexual (LGBTIQA) individuals
• An increased comfort level in addressing concepts and language regarding LGBTIQA communities with the university community and with individuals
• An increased awareness of services on campus that support LGBTIQA and allied individuals
• A network of community and campus staff, faculty, and students to support people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions on campus.

Standard Safe Zone is a prerequisite for the two-hour Safe Zone Continuing Education trainings:

• Transgender and Nonbinary
• Intersex
