Safe Zone Training

Being an Ally Means...

• being informed with accurate and current information on GLBT issues.
• helping to create an atmosphere of safety and support, including how it affects GLBT students and staff.
• respecting confidentiality concerning questions about GLBT issues.
• being aware of services available to GLBT youth and adults, including support groups, hotlines, and other community resources.
• considering to post a Safe Zone members list in their office or department, thus raising student and staff awareness of who is safe or accessible.
• inviting others to attend Safe Zone training sessions and meetings.
• continuing to learn about the issues affecting GLBT students, staff, and families through asking questions, ongoing conversations with others, and reading.
• challenging hate speech, name-calling, harassment, and discrimination, and real or threatened violence as it pertains to GLBT students, faculty, staff, families or those perceived to be GLBT.
