Training Opportunities

Our vision is to create a world where young LGBTI+ people are safe, valued, and equal in their experiences. Through support, dialogue, and education we can achieve this.

We regularly offer specialised LGBTI+ training to mental health professionals, the education, and the corporate sector. During these training sessions, we work to break down barriers associated with LGBTI+ identity, educate individuals around terminology, and inspire them to support their LGBTI+ colleagues, friends, and community.

Supporting the Mental Health of LGBTI+ Young People

Our popular mental health training in partnership with Jigsaw is back – and now online! This free training is for adults (18+) who work or volunteer with young people in their communities on the topic of supporting LGBTI+ young people’s mental health.

The course will take the format of an online self-directed course, followed by a Zoom live online workshop. Participants can choose  from one of two dates:

  • Wednesday, November 24th: 10am-1pm
  • Tuesday, December 8th: 10am-1pm

By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:

  • Utilise the appropriate language and terminology when supporting LGBTI+ young people.
  • Discuss the current landscape of LGBTI+ young people’s mental health.
  • Examine the impact of the social determinants of health on LGBTI+ young people’s mental health.
  • Outline the impact of minority stress upon LGBTI+ young people’s mental health.
  • Apply practical strategies to help build resilience among the LGBTI+ young people they work with.

This training is now full. Please check back regularly as we are hoping to run some more of these training sessions early in 2021.
