Presented by: Native Youth Sexual Health Network

Workshop description:

Titled in the program as: "Teaching Parents/Community on how to support their Children’s Gender & coming out'' 

                       is now "Supporting inter-generational community-based responses to self-harm/suicide of Two Spirit and                                           Indigenous LGBTTIQQA youth" (19.11.2014)

This workshop will give an overview of the realities facing Two Spirit and Indigenous LGBTTIQQA youth in the context of understanding historical trauma and colonial violence to sexualities and genders. Situating ourselves in the workshop for action, together we will create arts-based responses to supporting Two Spirit and Indigenous LGBTTIQQA youth that are shame and stigma free, and meet them where they are at.
