Transgender and Non-Binary Awareness

Be Trans Support and Community are a registered charity at the heart of support, advocacy and the development of the trans community in the North East. Be have provided support to hundreds of transgender, non binary, and gender diverse adults, with their support sessions reaching upwards of 50 people per week.

Be Trans Support and Community are interlinking with the #SaferToBeMe Summit to provide a professionals facing training course. Within this course, as well as interactive engagement and case studies, we will cover:

• Trans 101: What are pronouns? What do all these words mean? All your questions answered in our Trans 101 crash course.

• Areas of hidden harm: From healthcare to employment, education to social isolation, have you ever wondered what trans people are experiencing?

• How to be an ally to trans people: Do you want to know what you can do better? How can your workplace improve?

• What does the future look like? We share the worries and concerns our community is facing, and what the future can look like if trans rights continue to be rolled back within the U.K.

• Feedback and questions and answers.
