He touched on a crucial aspect of education – the lack of safe spaces for students to 𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬. Many LGBT+ students grow up without someone to confide in during these confusing times.

This 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞 would provide a vital psychological safe space for open and honest conversations 🗣️ Imagine the impact! 🌈 LGBT+ students navigating difficult situations could receive guidance and support without fear of judgment.

Conversation with @DofD Karen Svoboda thank you so much. Supporting Non-Binary Children: Advice for Families and Educators In this episode @Karen Svboda welcomes Jacob Kelley, a queer educator and advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusivity. Jacob shares their journey growing up in a rural town with limited resources for queer individuals, the impact of lack of representation in literature and media, and the importance of supportive family dynamics.

Jacob also highlights the mission of their organization, Mx. Kelley Queer Education, which focuses on training and consulting for LGBTQ+ inclusivity. The conversation concludes with a message of hope and progress within the LGBTQ+ community. Conversation Highlights: Jacob's organization focuses on LGBTQI+ inclusivity and education. Growing up queer in a rural area can be isolating and challenging. Lack of representation in media can lead to feelings of sadness and anger. Parents should lean into listening when their children come out. It's important for parents to understand the grieving process when a child transitions. Gender fluidity is a valid identity that should be respected. Children should be given space to explore their gender identity without judgment. Mx. Kelley Queer Education Queer Education aims to create psychological safety in educational settings. Inclusivity training should focus on humanity and belonging for all students. There is ongoing progress and growth in the acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals. https://lnkd.in/eAw2mHmn
