SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn - Connection Drives Healing - LGBTQ+
DESCRIPTION:Lunch & Learn – Connection Drives Healing – Protective Factors of Adult Support\, Compassion\, and Allyship for LGBTQ + Youth \nLinked Mentoring\, Inc. presents Connection Drives Healing: Protective Factors of Adult Support\, Compassion\, and Allyship for LGBTQ+ Youth. Join us for PRIDE month’s Lunch & Learn where we will have guest presenters from Linked Mentoring\, Inc. Linked Mentoring\, Inc. is a youth mentoring organization which seeks to connect\, empower\, and inspire LGBTQ+ youth; connecting youth with an LGBTQ+ adult mentor so that the two can develop a trusting\, supportive\, mutually positive connection. \nIn this training\, we aim to provide a foundational understanding of LGBTQ+ youth’s unique experiences and needs including identity development\, representation\, and intergenerational mentoring relationships. As we explore both the contemporary and historical disenfranchisement of LGBTQ+ youth\, participants will learn key resilience-building practices they can implement in their own work to be affirming and inclusive service providers. \n  \nREGISTER\n  \nGSA Link\, Inc. brings three facilitators to co-lead the training. \nMarlee Goodman (she/her)\, a Board of Directors member\, brings her expertise as a Trauma Specialist\, focusing on intersectional identities\, disenfranchised youth grief\, de-escalation\, and mental health advocacy. With a community-centered approach\, she centralizes efforts to bring nuance to GSA Link\, Inc.’s educational and programmatic offerings by crowdsourcing from the populations we serve. \nJoining Marlee are Maxx LaBrie (he/they)\, Director of Community Engagement\, and Jake Sullivan (he/they)\, Director of Mentorship. \nMaxx\, an autistic\, agender\, queer advocate\, brings nearly a decade of experience in systems advocacy and peer support. As a Certified Peer Specialist\, Maxx is deeply involved in education\, public health\, fat liberation\, anti-capitalism\, and disability justice\, all aimed at amplifying marginalized voices. \nJake Sullivan\, co-founder of our LGBTQ+ mentoring program\, brings expertise in stewarding mentoring relationships. Passionate about leadership development\, they focus on innovative and accessible knowledge-sharing systems and creating empowering environments for LGBTQ+ youth. \nLunch & Learn Sessions – meet the third Tuesday of each month. The event may take the form of networking\, a time to get deeper in conversation with others who value and support mentoring relationships or they may offer short spurts of information on updated research\, happenings and/or tools. We welcome you as often as you can join us.
