The Trevor Project's CARE (Connect, Accept, Respond, Empower) is an interactive and intensive training that provides adults with an overview of suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) youth, and the different environmental stressors that contribute to their heightened risk for suicide.
This training is appropriate for adults working in the foster care system, with adjudicated youth, with homeless and runaway youth, to spiritual and faith leaders, K-12 school staff and educators, higher education staff & faculty, healthcare professionals, and other adults interested in the subject matter.
After participating in this training, participants will be able to:
Describe the services offered by The Trevor Project and how youth can access them
Discuss the challenges facing LGBTQ+ people in their home, school, work and other environments
Explain the risk factors and warning signs of suicide
Describe how to respond to a person who is at risk for suicide and connect them to appropriate resources
Explain how to create supportive environments for all people that promote resiliency and decrease the risk for suicide
This training is free to attend and will be held on Zoom on Wednesday, September 11th from 6:00 PM-8:00 PM.
