About this Training

Are You Ready To BECOME AN ALLY? 

In society, we operate with a set of social norms and expectations. In many ways it feels comfortable to go along with them. When you think about gender, sex, and sexual orientation, your perception of those words, and what you associate them with, is impacted by those social norms and expectations. But, how were those norms and expectations created? And, by whom, and why? What happens when your very existence, who you are, is not within those norms and expectations? If you’re willing to take an honest look, it’s not difficult to see the impact. This training will explore these questions and more, and their impact on the LGBTQ+ community.

You’ll learn about the creation of ideals and beliefs surrounding sexual orientation, sex, and gender, the use of narratives to create and reinforce bias and their impact, community culture, personal identity, and you’ll build knowledge and awareness to become a strong ally.

Whether you are a social service or mental health professional pursuing a unique and impactful continuing education experience, a student, or anyone regardless of profession who is seeking to learn and grow in LGBTQ+ allyship, this virtual training experience will challenge you, and expose you to knowledge and skills to gain better understanding of the LGBTQ+ community, their history, the impact of systemic and institutional oppression, and allyship.  This is a virtual training, with 3 modules (approximately 2 hours of content in each module). The training is asynchronous, designed for participants to be able to take breaks as they need to, and to work at their own pace.

The videos within this training include Open Captions in English. For other accessibility needs or accommodations, contact driep.help@borderlandrainbow.org

​

Participants will:

  • Learn about historical events, ideologies, and social structures, and how they inform modern day beliefs, bias, and perception regarding the LGBTQ+ community
  • Develop an understanding of basic terminology and who the LGBTQ+ community is
  • Analyze concepts such as the gender binary, gender roles, heteronormativity, homophobia and transphobia
  • Reflect on personal identity, bias, privilege, and intersectionality
  • Identify what LGBTQ+ allyship means and ways to make allyship part of your life and/or practice.
