Coaching for the inclusion of LGBTQ2S+ individuals
Coaching for inclusion of LGBTQ2S+ individuals
Start to make a difference today
Trainings for coaches and counsellor often don’t address the inclusion of the LGBTQ2S+ community. Providing respectful services for gender and sexually diverse people goes far beyond using the right pronouns or claiming to be a queer ally. Many cis or straight mental health professional aren’t aware about the systemic oppression queer people face in their daily lives. Many cis-dominated spaces aren’t psychologically safe for people belonging to the LGBTQ2S+ community. This coaching program supports you in providing ethical services for queer individuals.

Promoting Accountability
Anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice requires that we apply the knowledge into our lives. Our services promote accountability so that you are empowered to take action and integrate the principles into your life.
Theoretical knowledge combined with lived experience
The services integrate my lived experience as a white settler practicing anti-racism and decolonization in Canada. Additionally, it draws from my knowledge as a non-binary person who is an immigrant in Canada.
