CORPORATE Workshops

Toronto Pflag conducts workshops for businesses and community groups to share information about our 2SLGBTQIA+ community, how to support them and their families and allyship. We talk about how to better support our LGBTQ2S+ colleagues at work, as well as those who are parents or family of LGBTQ2S+ loved ones.

Our volunteer presenters speak from lived experience, sharing their personal stories along with the workshop’s main topic. Workshops last one hour and can be conducted virtually or in person.

how to Be an ally

Our allyship workshop covers basic 2SLGBTQIA+ language and concepts. It's followed by a discussion of coming out at work, the power of allies and what you can do to make your workplace more welcoming.

Allyship: Beyond the Basics

This session goes beyond awareness-level information and digs deeper into what individuals and organizations can – and should – do to affirm and support our 2SLGBTQIA+ loved ones and their families.

Parenting

This workshop is designed for parents and caregivers. Educators and daycare providers also find it informative. This session covers basic 2SLGBTQIA+ language and concepts, inclusive parenting, and how to prepare for and/or handle the coming out conversation.
