This month, we will be presenting "Policy in Ohio: How to Support LGBTQ+ Students." Across the state of Ohio, we have seen LGBTQ+ students and educators under attack and we will be discussing what is true, what is a myth, and how to best support LGBTQ+ students in YOUR school.
Students thrive when they see themselves reflected in their curriculum. For Black LGBTQ+ students, this means learning about and honoring history, people, and events related to their intersectional identity as both Black and LGBTQ+.
K-12 School Staff: Request a FREE set of LGBTQ+ affirming K-12 books! GLSEN will be sending LGBTQ+ affirming text sets to over 900 schools in 28 states in spring 2022. Resources are limited, and will be prioritized on a first come, first served basis.

Calling kids by the name and pronouns they want to be called 1) lessens the rate of suicide of that child, 2) makes them less anxious and depressed, and 3) keeps them in school longer (less chronic absenteeism and ends up graduating).
As a reminder, September is annually recognized as National Suicide Prevention Month.
If you're in need of help, please know that there are several LGBTQ+ focused resources available, and many of these resource hotlines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Thank you to First Capital Pride for having us! We have had a great time in Chillicothe! #glsencohpride
