It is clear that advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion is important for the social sector. However, it can be difficult to know where to start. Social Current’s approach to EDI positions organizations for success by focusing on organizational culture and addressing equity at multiple levels. Join this session to learn more about Social Current’s approach to EDI, which is based on years of experience in partnering with community-based organizations. Participant will also gain tips for how to be successful in advancing equity at your organization.
This training introduces participants to a social identity framework focused on sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression (SOGIE). In addition to learning about SOGIE in the context of social identities, participants will also review best practices to enhance interpersonal and professional relationships with clients and peers who identify as LGBTQ+ or have diverse/expansive SOGIE.
Increasingly federal and state systems of care are requiring SOGIE data collection, and many agencies are not prepared. Additionally, the absence of SOGIE visibility can be a barrier for referrals to agencies who are equipped to serve LGBTQ+ people. This training focuses on how LGBTQ+ identity can impact the way people prioritize voice and choice in service delivery.
This training introduces participants to the Family Acceptance Project’s research, which highlights the correlation between caregiver behaviors toward LGBT youth and future health and safety outcomes. Additionally, participants will learn about family preservation and the Ruth Ellis Center’s approach to working with families of LGBTQ+ youth.
This training provides an overview of gender-affirming care and transitioning (socially, medically, and legally). These practices serve to increase safety, access to resources, and mental/emotional well-being for gender diverse people. Whether a medical professional or someone who is interested in advocating for the LGBTQ+ community, participants will leave with concrete behaviors which can be implemented in a variety of roles when serving individuals with diverse gender identity and expression.
