蜜桃影像 Safe Zone Training for Staff and Faculty

When you come to 蜜桃影像, you may see a sticker or sign that indicate that a person is a 鈥淪afe Space鈥 or has been 鈥淪afe Zone Trained.鈥 These signs mean a person is open to talking about and being supportive of LGBTQ+ individuals and identities. Displaying 鈥淪afe Zone鈥 stickers is a sign to others of that staff or faculty member's commitment to creating LGBTQ-inclusive environments.

The goal of a Safe Zone training isn鈥檛 to change a particular space, but to create people who are invested in creating safe and affirming environments wherever they go, and providing those people the skills and knowledge they need to do that.
