Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Supporting and
Affirming LGBTQ+ Students in Turbulent Times
Thursday, February 9, 2023
9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Across Wisconsin, educators are being called upon to support LGBTQ+ students, oftentimes in a context where parents, school leaders, and the community aren’t on the same page. This workshop will review and expand upon existing best practices/tools, provide an update on the current political landscape, and provide hands-on opportunities to prepare for challenging conversations with school leaders, families, and students. This workshop will provide a space for dialogue and to exchange experiences to increase capacity to advocate for a safe and equitable learning experience for this student population.
Brian Juchems has been at the forefront of fostering inclusive schools in Wisconsin for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) youth since 1998 when he migrated to Madison from rural Iowa where he had previously worked as a residence hall director for Luther College. Brian J. co-founded and grew gsafe’s annual Leadership Training Institute into a 4-day summer camp for high school students across Wisconsin to develop their skills as activists, allies, and agents of change.
