Safe Zone Training

This training qualifies for 4 hours of credit toward the Gillings School’s annual inclusive excellence training requirement for faculty and staff.

The Safe Zone program is designed to create a network of visible allies to people who identify as part of the LGBTIQA+ campus community. These trainings provide information and resources related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. Safe Zone trainees develop:

• A deeper awareness of personal ideas, stereotypes, and assumptions related to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and asexual (LGBTIQA) individuals
• An increased comfort level in addressing concepts and language regarding LGBTIQA communities with the university community and with individuals
• An increased awareness of services on campus that support LGBTIQA and allied individuals
• A network of community and campus staff, faculty, and students to support people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions on campus.

Registration required.
