DIVERSITY TRAINING FOR YOUR WORKPLACE

LGBTIQA+ people may find it difficult to be open about their sexuality or gender identity, often fearful of receiving poor or discriminatory treatment because of it. Bfriend's free, comprehensive workplace training encourages a better understanding of the needs of LGBTIQA+ people.

It provides staff with more confidence to deliver an inclusive, best practice service to LGBTIQA+ individuals, their partners, families and the wider community.

The training seeks to raise awareness about issues facing the LGBTIQA+ community, challenge stereotypes and myths related to this community, and enable these learnings to be applied in professional service delivery.

Facilitators create a safe and non-judgemental learning space and encourage participants to ask questions and raise concerns as a part of the learning experience.

Benefits include:

  • increased confidence and competence for staff in providing inclusive and appropriate care to LGBTIQA+ people

  • professional development opportunities for all staff by facilitators who have lived experience as LGBTIQA+ community members

  • positive cultural and attitude shifts towards LGBTIQA+ clients and the wider community.
