For Educators

Gender and Sexual Diversity Training

Specialist Professional Development

The concept of sexual orientation refers to more than sexual behaviour; it includes feelings as well as identity. This interactive training aims to explore Sexual Identity and Gender Expression/Identity for those unfamiliar with the LGBTQI+ community. Understanding and applying concepts about gender and sexuality, including using appropriate language, is essential to public health programming.

The training provides practical guidance on creating welcoming, inclusive, and equitable workplaces and designing effective health and development programs to support those most at risk. This unique course provides participants with experience in working with LGBTQI+ people and gives the necessary competences to include Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression perspectives in their practice, to combat prejudice and discriminatory attitudes.

Learning Outcomes
