You will learn more about what YOU can do to prevent and intervene in bullying & bias based harassment (as it pertains to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth) in your community organization or school, discover the links bullying experiences have with long term, negative mental health outcomes including risk for depression and suicide, learn more about the new policies and procedures in Washington State, and connect with others working to prevent bullying and find new tools to bring back to your own program and school.
