You will learn about laws, policies, and opportunities for advocacy, as well as gain practical strategies to implement in your context.

This course will leverage our LGBTQ+ Affirming Resource Bundle, as well as many other relevant resources from experts in the field. You will see these resources featured throughout the course.
