Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to earn a Safe Zone Sticker showing that they are a resource and ally for LGBTQIA2S+ folks. This sticker can be picked up in CMU 120 upon completion of this training. Topics covered include: LGBTQIA2S+ definitions, privilege, heteronormativity, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, coming out, how to be an ally, campus and community resources, and real life scenarios to apply your knowledge.

WHO IS FAYE SEIDLER you ask?
Hi! I’m a suicide prevention advocate that specializes in LGBTQ+ populations. I do this work because I’m a suicide survivor and I want to do everything I can to build hope and resiliency in North Dakota and surrounding areas. While I do serve all populations, my focus is making sure our LGBTQ+ youth in particular have hope, love, and safety. This is so important to me I’ve committed the rest of my life to this cause. My work involves educating others, making connections, researching outcomes, writing grants, developing resources, publicly speaking, breaking barriers, de-siloing services, and ultimately doing everything I can to build hope. At the end of the day never forget you matter. And if you ever struggle, dial 988 for our suicide crisis lifeline or 211 to find general help, support, and a friend to talk to.
