10/11/2019

The Trevor Project’s Coming Out: A Handbook for LGBTQ Young People, is a resource that covers a wide range of topics to support LGBTQ young people in exploring what coming out safely can mean for them.

Basics of gender: gender identity, gender expression, and transitioning
Basics of sexual orientation: physical attraction, romantic attraction, and emotional attraction
Coming out: planning ahead, testing the waters, environment, support systems, and safety
Healthy relationships, self-care, mental health, and warning signs of negative mental health outcomes such as seriously considering suicide

I am a huge fan of sharing joy!

This afternoon I walked into the Sheehan Elementary School in Westwood and saw these posters all over the place. This is one concrete example of what it can look like to create safe and welcoming spaces for all students at an elementary school.

Thank you to the staff and students of the Sheehan for being so thoughtful, loving and inclusive.
