This webinar is presented by ACDS in partnership with the Calgary Outlink Center for Gender and Sexual Diversity.

In context, one of the indicators in the new CET standards, speaks to supporting individuals, their wants and needs, in the areas of gender, gender identity and sexual orientation. This webinar is a great way service providers can get introduced to this important and sensitive aspect of support.

About the Webinar Session:
In this 2 hour workshop on gender and sexual diversity and inclusion facilitated by Calgary Outlink, participants will gain deeper knowledge and understanding of 2SLGBTQ+ identities and experiences as well as tools to create safer, more inclusive, welcoming spaces in their work and their lives.
