About the event
Beyond the Binary: Understanding the Diverse Needs of the Rainbow Community
Join us for an engaging workshop designed to deepen your understanding of the needs within the rainbow community. We’ll begin by exploring the gaps in current support systems, offering insight into areas where professional care can be improved and made more meaningful. Then, we’ll delve into the unique challenges faced by the trans community, highlighting additional barriers and discussing the specific support they require. The final segment will focus on intersectionality, examining how individuals who belong to multiple marginalized groups experience compounded forms of discrimination. You'll leave with actionable insights, tools, and knowledge to foster a more inclusive, sensitive approach to supporting all rainbow clients.
