It’s not always safe for young people to come out, and many young 2SLGBTQI people feel pressured to come out by society or out of a need to feel accepted for who they are. Together, we can create safer, more accepting, and inclusive spaces for 2SLGBTQI to come out, but it requires commitment from allies. Take the pledge today, and 'Come Out' as a safe person for 2SLGBTQI youth. Learn more, and access great resources at: egale.ca/ComingOutTogether

Today, we are highlighting one Conference workshop that touches on self-harm and how practitioners can appropriately provide care for struggling youth. 'Embracing Our Scars: Self Harm 101,' presented by Bree Wiles, LCSW, will take a deep dive into self-harm, including types of self-harm, the average self-harm age range, self-harm in connection with depression, and interventions for self-harm. Although there are numerous reasons for self-harm, Bree will take a closer look at the intersectionality of LGBTQ youth of color and socioeconomic factors. ⌛ Join us: https://cvent.me/gvrLOG 📨 Receive Annual Conference updates: https://lnkd.in/gEtsZG_Y - Image description: Text reads "NASW-CA 2023 Annual Conference.

As we enter #NAIDOCWeek, I am celebrating the rich history, diverse cultures, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This week is an opportunity to honor the profound contributions that First Nations communities have made to our nation's past, present, and future. It is also a time to educate ourselves, to listen deeply, and to engage in meaningful conversations about reconciliation, equality, and justice. Events are great - let’s also take the time to think about how we can support Indigenous businesses, and learn about the traditions and customs that have shaped this land long before it was called Australia. By celebrating NAIDOC Week, we not only honor the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples but also strengthen the fabric of our national identity. Together, we can build a future that acknowledges and respects the invaluable contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. As we say at Women of Colour Australia, there is no justice without First Nations justice! So this NAIDOC Week, let's walk together, side by side, towards a more inclusive and united Australia. 🖤💛♥️ Don’t know where to start?

USAID supports the enactment of robust protections, inclusion, and human rights for all LGBTQI individuals through “inclusive development,” an equitable development approach built on the understanding that every individual and community, of all diverse identities and experiences, is instrumental in the transformation of their own societies. That’s why we launched the historic LGBTQI Inclusive Development Policy last year, a blueprint for integrating LGBTQI individuals into USAID policy and programming. Through the Policy, USAID recommits to its staff, local partners, the international community, other development agencies, and program participants around the world that LGBTQI individuals are a vital force in the work we do and that, by embracing an inclusive development approach, we will help our work serve all segments of society.

Building bridges, fostering solidarity, and envisioning a brighter tomorrow. We stand proudly behind the stellar work carried out by the Jeremy Lin Foundation in partnership with The Asian American Foundation. Our recent endeavor, the Stronger Together Collaborative, is a testimony to the power of unity, understanding, and collaborative effort. In support of 9 dedicated community-rooted organizations, we facilitated a space where underserved AAPI youth in NYC could come together to share, learn, and forge stronger bonds with other communities of color. Through open dialogues and educational workshops spearheaded by the @buildingmovementproject, we are nurturing a ground where solidarity is not just a word, but a lived experience. Take a moment to witness the inspiring journey of these young individuals, a journey where every step is a stride towards a future steeped in mutual respect and collective strength. It's more than a project; it's a movement towards a society where we are, indeed, #StrongerTogether. Let us build a future where we rise, united. #AAPI #CommunityBuilding #Solidarity #FutureLeaders
