This one day training provides pathways to resilience and helpful supports for 2SLGBTQI* youth. Topics covered include:

  • Intergenerational effects of colonization
  • The unique Two-Spirit identity
  • Finding place in Indigenous, Western, and 2SLGBTQI* communities
  • Reflection on collective and individual unconscious biases
  • Available supports and services

This unique culturally grounded training incorporates classroom learning activities with a discussion circle of community circle members and relations, cultural leaders and youth.

This training is appropriate for youth, families, circle members and workers who wish to deepen existing knowledge and explore culturally-based tools to foster support and inclusivity.

This course also includes access to an online resource sharing page once it has been completed.

2SLGBTQI* (Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Indigiqueer, * refers to all other beautiful beings in the extended family)

  • This was the best all day workshop I’ve ever attended! Caring and so full of information!

  • Interactive and fun. [This workshop] encouraged us to be vulnerable and uncomfortable in moments, in a safe and welcoming environment. All the resources are so helpful!

    Training Participant

  • I would highly recommend training from IPS. The diversity of facilitation techniques used was highly engaging. I look forward to the next chance to learn and grow from future courses.
