A Letter Of Recommendation about “LGBTQ 101: training in Westerly, Connecticut

October 2018

Katie Ziskind presented to our counseling team earlier this fall (2018) on working with LGBTQ students and their families. She helped bring to light the journey our students take when struggling and coming to terms with their identity and their decision to come out and how we can better support them. She was also able to share new vocabulary with us so that we can better understand our students through their journey. We discussed real-life situations and appropriate ways to respond to our students and families. Katie has a very calm presence and we enjoyed the time we spent with her.

Sincerely,

LGBTQIA+ children and teenagers are more likely to be subject to bullying, harassment, and school violence. Gender expression makes teens more of a target for bullies. Queer and non comforming youth are often seen as outcasts in social settings and in school by peers and teachers who have their own fears and homophobia. This training can help you and your community build education around transgender people and promote confidence.
