I agree with all of these recommendations, and thanks Chimi, for recommending VAVP! They are indeed wonderful and a great resource.

I also want to recommend the Virgina Anti-Violence project  www.virginiaavp.org. They focus on intersectionality and experience of LGBTQIA+ people of color

Hi all,

I will also echo the FORGE recommendation. 

An exercise I inherited from some community colleagues is a "Barriers" activity [3 different versions of "Chris activity" are attached]. One person volunteers to be Chris [aka the survivor] and several others volunteer to be each service provider. We ask the person playing Chris to read their story [and re-read their story each time they engage with a new service provider/support resource to mirror the survivor having to re-tell their story over and over again] and then choose where they think they would go first, next, etc until all the support/service provider narratives have been read. Then we debrief - what additional barriers did Chris face as a gay/trans [depending on which version you use] person? What additional barriers might Chris face as a person of color? Immigrant? Person w/ a disability? etc.

Another version of this activity that I found works well is to avoid identifying information in the description of Chris and then ask participants how they pictured Chris. This can get participants to uncover some of the assumptions they make [i.e., they may picture Chris is a straight cis woman, or a young cis white gay man].

Another activity I sometimes do is have participants pair up and talk about someone significant in their lives without using gendered language for two minutes. We then discuss how difficult/easy it was, if there was any gendered language that came up that they didn't think of as gendered [i.e., of course "he" and "she" pronouns are gendered but did they use words like "pretty" or "handsome" to describe this person?] Then we talk about the layers of disclosing a sexual assault and possibly not feeling safe to out oneself in the process. 

I sometimes have folks plot themselves on a spectrum (like the gender unicorn) which gives us room to talk a bit about terminology and understand that we all exist somewhere on these spectra of gender and sexuality. 

I find that many times audiences who haven't had much exposure to LGBTQIA+ topics want to spend a lot of time focusing on terminology. If you have time to do some sort of bingo or match-up activity, that's great, but be cautious of the terminology conversation taking up too much time - I often end up printing a handout and trying not to spend too much time on it. Language is important and simultaneously always evolving, and at the end of the day it's about how people self-identify, so I try to drive home that it's about how we make space for folks to self-identify [and, of course, respecting such].

I hope this is helpful! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or anything is unclear. 

Best,

Kaylin

PS: Did you know an organization exists that focuses on addressing and ending violence within LGBTQ+ communities across Virginia? Virginia Anti-Violence Project is a great organization to partner with if you're in Virginia and need additional support! [And check out the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs if you're not in VA!]

Subject: Recommended resources or activities related to SV and LGBTQIA students

 

Hi folks,

 

Does anyone have recommendations for:

1)    Resources (handouts, websites, white papers, etc.) related to SV and LBGTQIA students that they think are particularly stellar and

2)    Training activities for staff/employees related to these issues that are really engaging or compelling? Examples might include a TED talk and follow-up discussion questions, a group activity, etc.

 

Thanks for any recommendations!

Alli
