This training
will focus on why people use, the types of drugs that youth are using, and the
long history of substance use. We will introduce how our perceptions of youth

work. We will explore Harm Reduction and practice using HR principles when addressing
youth questions. (5 CE credits)

This training will show how traditional views on
sex and sexuality come into many classrooms. Participants will explore the communities
that are represented in the LGBTQIQ acronym, the differences between gender and

and adults. We will also learn what it means to be an ally and how to create an
inclusive space for the queer youth we serve. (5 CE credits)

intensive activities and discussion we will explore the gender binary and how
it is still alive today. Participants will be challenged to explore how they can
make both everyday and institutional changes in their communities just by being
inclusive and intentional in our language. We will go more in depth into Intersex
and Transgender Sexuality. We will also break down homophobia in an accessible
way, and talk about the intersection of religion and sexuality. Our Introduction
to Working with LGBTQIQ Youth Training is highly recommended. (5 CE credits)
