In celebration of Fairmont Pride, Rainbow Families is excited to offer a series of Parent & Caregiver Workshops.
Who:
Fairmont Teachers,Staff, Community Members, and Parents.
You do not need to be the parent of a LGBTQ+ student to attend.
What:
Two workshops designed to equip attendees with the information and vocabulary they need to talk with children in their lives about gender, sexuality, consent, and stereotypes in developmentally-appropriate ways and to advocate for LGBTQ+ students (as parents/caregivers, allies, teachers, and friends) in classroom, extracurricular, and parenting settings.
When:
Session 1: Monday 6/5 7-8pm (Zoom)
Session 2: Wednesday 6/7 7-8pm (in Fairmont’s MPR)
The sessions are designed to build upon one another, so attending both is encouraged. However, you are also welcome to only attend one session.
Why:
To better understand and appreciate the diversity of our Fairmont community
To discuss challenges experienced by LGBTQ+ students and students who don’t conform to gender stereotypes, plus how to address them as a community
To build upon Fairmont’s precedent of robust DEI training in order to create inclusive school and home environments
To equip Fairmont families and community members with the confidence they need to have tough conversations with young people
Facilitated By:
Kaitlyn Custer, Sexual Health Educator and Facilitator of Fairmont’s Healthy Sexuality Program
