Awareness and Empathy is the beginner training for faculty, staff, and students who are interested in becoming allies to the LGBTQ+ community. 

In this training, participants will:

• Explore and understand their own social conditioning when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community
• Have a basic understanding of sex, sexuality, and gender
• Understand LGBTQ+ experiences more thoroughly
• Begin to explore allyship to the LGBTQ+ community

For more advanced training, participants are also encouraged to go through the LGBTQ+ Action and Advocacy training to learn advanced skills on how to interrupt biased behavior, ensure LGBTQ+ inclusivity in professional settings, and continue to grow as an action-oriented ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
