PAE-T2-3: Student Training Opportunities

Student Training Opportunities S.A.F.E Training: “The LGBTQ Resource Center encourages all students to come hear the stories of their fellow classmates in order to gain a deeper understanding about the struggles and stereotypes they face on a daily basis. This training is meant to be a tool for understanding and respect so that students have the resources to lend a helping hand to their LGBTQ classmates.” S.A.F.E. training is a 2-hour workshop that includes the discussion of the perception of lesbians and gays, the unique challenges faced by LBGTQ people on campus and in society, and strategies for becoming a heterosexual ally. Most sessions include a panel of UWO LBGTQ students and heterosexual student allies. Participants who choose to be LBGTQ allies receive a S.A.F.E. triangle decal. Trainings are held at least twice each academic year: once in the fall during Coming OUT week and again in the spring for Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Awareness Days (BGLAD) Week.
