[Counselors] Transgender Resources

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

Glsen is a very good resource with the goal of making all k-12 school programs a safe space for our children to learn and grow. The resources and information share are great conversation starters and help us identify our biases and understanding of other humans.

Very thorough and very good!


I have googled stuff and found what I like.  I ran an alternative lifestyle group at my former school that was very successful.  I am starting one at my current school but my crazy schedule has delayed it a bit.  I would be more than happy to visit with you about what I do if you would like.  My cell is 405-323-2868.

We have a group called GSA that seems to really help our students. It is a club at school. Here is an overview of the club:
A GSA club is a student-run club in a high school or middle school that brings together LGBTQI + and straight students to support each other, provide a safe place to socialize, and create a platform to fight for racial, gender, LGBTQ, and economic justice. "GSA" has historically stood for Gay-Straight Alliance, however many clubs have expanded the name of their clubs beyond the binary Gay-Straight terminology.
We have a lot of student involvement and students curious of where they fit in really seem to enjoy this group. They meet weekly.
