Are you interested in helping us make UW-Eau Claire inclusive, welcoming, and safe for all Blugolds, regardless of sexual orientation and/or gender identity/expression? Whether you already consider yourself an Ally to the LGBTQIA+ community or are entering into the conversation for the very first time, Safe Space and Stand Up training is for you! We offer training in these programs to all university departments, offices, student organizations, and even communities throughout the Chippewa Valley.

Safe Space Training

2-hour sessions led by two Safe Space trainers, averaging between 8-25 participants. That said, group sizes do vary; we are flexible. So, let us know what you have in mind and we'll work with you. 

Safe Space Training covers quite a bit of ground. We utilize a social justice framework, honoring the discomfort that often accompanies such conversations/trainings. While each session varies depending on the lived experiences of those in attendance, some of the terms/issues we will discuss are as follows:

• Cultural Humility
• LGBTQIA+ (unpacking the acronym)
• Pronouns
• Gender Identity, Gender Expression, Sexual Orientation, Gender Roles
• Erasure
• Intersectionality
• The Queer legal landscape
• Allyship
• Resources (UW-Eau Claire, Chippewa Valley, Nationwide)
