Walking with Tribal Youth on Their Sacred Journey–Supporting Native LGBTQ+ & Two-Spirit Individuals: Panel Focusing on Lived Experience

In recognition of Pride Month, the CoE LGBTQ+ BHE and the National American Indian and Alaska Native MHTTC will be hosting a special four-part webinar series on supporting Native LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit youth! Join us every week in June to learn about the historical context of colonization that impacts Native youth, discover what tools and resources are available, gain strategies for supporting youth and their families, and hear from a lived experience panel.

Each session will begin and end with a breathing exercise and acknowledgment of attendees tending to their own spirit. Attendees are encouraged to attend all four sessions to embark upon this journey of learning together.

This session is Part 4 of a 4-Part Pride Month series: Walking with Tribal Youth on Their Sacred Journey, and will be a panel discussion focusing on experiences of supporting native LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit people. Panelists will share lessons from various perspectives of lived experience; what has helped, what harmed, what providers need to know. The panel will also include a talking circle and a Q&A session on supporting Native LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit youth. The session will begin and end with a breathing exercise and acknowledgment of attendees tending to their own spirit. Attendees are encouraged to attend all four sessions to embark upon this journey of learning together.
