The Problem
Many teachers and educators sometimes use words that could be triggering or offensive to people of color, different genders, sexualities, or who have mental disorders. This workshop and the lessons entailed are meant to show educators how to speak with a group of young people without saying things that may be harmful to them. We also hope to amend the school's suicide prevention policy in order to properly include issues that affect youth more frequently now (anxiety, depression, sexual identity).
