LGBTQ 101

This training provides a basic introduction to issues relevant to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) people. This training focuses on developing professional competence and includes: basic terminology and language, risks to LGBTQ individuals, and practical suggestions for serving LGBTQ people.
Transgender 201
Tuesday, December 20th 9am – 12pm
This training covers key issues for transgender and gender variant individuals such as gender development and steps for those who are in the process of transitioning. Prerequisite: LGBTQ 101
The Utah Pride Center is committed to ensuring that local television, radio, and print media outlets report fairly and accurately about GLBT issues and people. In addition to monitoring and responding to defamatory, homophobic, and inaccurate media, we offer our newsroom trainings to reporters, editors, and producers of TV, print, and radio media outlets.
During this training, our staff evaluates the outlet's coverage over the last year to identify problem areas and offer solutions, and we provide trainees with the most current professional journalistic standards and style guides for reporting about GLBT topics. Additionally, they clarify definitions, discuss offensive and problematic terminology, and provide tips on how to report news in a balanced and inclusive manner.
Utah Pride Center provides LGBTQ cultural competency trainings through out the state of Utah. Utah Pride Center staff has extensive expertise working with the LGBTQ people, friends, allies and their families. In turn, Utah Pride Center has an established training program designed to promote professional development. Continuing Education Credits are offered for professions such as social work.
We know that developing cultural competency is a process that takes time (and is never done). Thus, Utah Pride Center hosts three levels of trainings, 101, 201 and 301, so that professionals have the opportunity to develop their understanding of LGBTQ topics in a manner that becomes richer and deeper over time. We do require participants to complete previous level trainings (or equivalent) before attending intermediate level trainings.
There are two avenues through which professionals serving Utah may gain training: in-house workshops or whole facility trainings. For the next in-house training please click here.
There are small fees associated with our trainings and scholarship opportunities are available. Please contact the Training Coordinator for information about fees.
