affirming futures: creating safe and affirming spaces

May 5 @ 6:00 pm 8:00 pm

This 2-part workshop series hosted by Arbor Circle is designed to equip educators, caregivers, and community members with the tools and understanding needed to support LGBTQ+ youth. Through interactive, informative sessions, we aim to foster safer, more inclusive environments where young people can feel seen, affirmed, and empowered to thrive. Our goal is to build lasting connections and spark change across schools, homes, and communities.
