Training For Professionals Who Work With Gay And Lesbians In Educational And Workplace Settings

Hilda F. Besner; Charlotte I. Spungin

This manual was written for trainers, both in the private and public sectors, who are responsible for educating employees about gay and lesbian issues that directly or indirectly affect organizations in educational or workplace settings. There are compelling reasons for addressing gay and lesbian issues in educational and workplace settings. Many gays and lesbians are victims of prejudice, discrimination, and violent behavior that is motivated by fear, misinformation, and/or lack of knowledge. Unsafe environments in education and the workplace can have negative effects on the productivity and creativity of personnel and their interpersonal relationships. The manual’s fundamental focus is the authors’ belief that optimal education can only be accomplished through professional ‘training of trainers’ who then replicate the workshop training for their colleagues.
