We're proud members of the LGBTQ community and look forward to fostering community connectedness throughout the country. </p><p><em>Please note:</em> the right for queer and trans people to safely exist is not up for debate. Hate speech (i.e. calls for violence or disregarding basic human rights/dignity) will not be tolerated and will result in that person’s removal from the training. If you have questions based on curiosity, clarification, and desire to deepen your understanding of why certain language is used to describe a person’s identity (or why certain clarifying questions are perceived as offensive), those are absolutely welcome and quite distinct from dismissing a person’s identity altogether.</p><p>If you would like a Certificate of Completion to provide to an employer, please email me after the training at capybaracounseling@gmail.com and I will happily provide one. </p></div><div style="margin: 20px 0;line-height: 22px;"><img src="https://img.evbuc.com/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.evbuc.com%2Fimages%2F380428329%2F1055708417803%2F1%2Foriginal.20221025-231142?h=2000&w=720&auto=format%2Ccompress&q=75&sharp=10&s=c067adcca64f042d9ae930c00a64a269" alt="" /></div></div>
