Resources
With the help of our 2SLGBTQIA+ friends and mentors across Alberta, the Bow Valley , and beyond, we’ve put together a non-exhaustive compilation of resources to support learning about queer issues.
Whether you’re curious about educational resources for yourself or for your staff — or perhaps you want to learn more about how to better support the 2SLGBTQIA+ folks in your life.
Trans Inclusivity 101
Our friends at Skipping Stone have created this poster to help folks learn more about what it means to be inclusive to trans people.
The Gift of Gender Authenticity
Jean Malpas talks about how to open up the binary so that kids feel welcome discussing their authentic selves and genders.
Jean Malpas is a certified psychotherapist and the director of The Gender Family Project of the Ackerman Institute for the Family, which provides comprehensive services for gender-expansive children, trans adolescents, their families, and communities.
Practice with pronouns
Practice with pronouns is a fun, interactive way to get used to using different pronouns!

The Playbook supports people working in acute, primary, and community health and social service environments in fostering inclusive spaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and people.

Trans Student Educational Resources has created this simple yet effective infographic to introduce the various ways in which our gender and orientation can present!
There’s an interactive guide, too.
How to be an ally
The Trevor Project has put together a comprehensive guide to being an ally to transgender and nonbinary youth.
It’s an educational resource that covers a wide range of best practices on how to support transgender and nonbinary folks in your life.
