“You don't feel privilege; only the absence of it."

Everyone has the right to feel safe, validated, and be their authentic selves. It is all of our responsibility to create a space where that is possible.

This course provides an overview of one of the most important competencies today – cultural intelligence – and helps you develop the skills needed to support 2SLGBTQ+ communities, and eliminate existing barriers and harm within your organization and practice.

Be the ally you want to be, and the leader that others need you to be.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this course you will be able to

  • Create a safer, more inclusive workplace for and with people within the 2SLGBTQ+ communities
  • Become a better ally in reducing systemic barriers within your organization or practice
  • Interact on a 1:1 basis and with your team in a way that is respectful and inclusive
  • Understand why there are so many letters, e.g., 2SLGTQQIAA+… aren’t we all just the human race? 
  • Apply the concepts of gender and sexual identities, sexual orientation, and more
  • Put allyship into action as well as know what you should avoid


Who this course is for:

  • Professionals in contact with clients, colleagues, and/or community members
  • Staff and volunteers who interact with clients, colleagues, and/or community members 
  • Administrators, leaders, managers, and human resource professionals


Why this course is important:
People who identify as 2SLGBTQ+ are increasingly part of the workforce and client base. Terminologies, concepts, and identities continue to evolve, and baseline competencies continue to elevate. Professionals must actively upskill or be left behind. This course addresses the practical and changing needs of professional practice, workplace wellness, and is approved for 3 EDI Professionalism hours by the Law Society of Ontario.
