“It’s not our job to answer the question about whether or not someone is trans; rather, our job is to help our clients get to a mental space where they can clearly see who they are.” - Jennifer Thomson @mbteachers #MTSPDDAY

[MB Assoc of School Social Workers @MASSW2018]

Jennifer Thomson: “Gender variations are not disorders”.

And we’re off for the second half of our day! Welcome to Jennifer Thomson, Clinical Psychologist, on Working with the LGBTQ+ Community in a Clinical Setting. #MTSPDDAY

Wow. Powerful morning @MASSW2018 #MTSPDDAY
See all of you at 1:00 to continue the conversation in supporting 2SLGBTQ++ students, colleagues, and families. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

“I am not sensitive content. The people we love are not sensitive content.” - Lindsay Brown
Such great discussion and the clear need to keep breaking down systemic barriers in education.

“I am exhausted talking about bathrooms. This has been the greatest barrier in accessing accessible spaces in the workplace.” - @MxBrownA215

Lindsay Brown: “Have we created a space where they can share with us?” Listening to what our students need, and remembering intersectionality in identity. Honouring what each student needs.

Up next on our amazing day of learning: @mxlindsay presenting on systemic barriers in education for 2SLGBTQIA+ students, colleagues, and families. Critical we interrogate the systemic oppression facing the Queer community. #MTSPDDAY

[MB Assoc of School Social Workers @MASSW2018]

Wondering why @MASSW2018 stays virtual on #MTSPDDAY? Because we can reach 33 divisions across this amazing province! Thank you participants for spreading the learning to all corners of Manitoba!

Awesome morning of learning from Bre and Craig from @RainbowResCtr! Such an engaging session, & so many thoughts and ideas to incorporate in school social work practice with 2SLGBTQ+ youth, families, & community. Big thanks to @MASSW2018 and today’s organizers! #MTSPDDAY

#MTSPDDay 2022!

[Brenda Stewart @BrendaStewartP]

A great start to #MTSPDDAY by listening to Bre Calma from @RainbowResCtr. Thank you MASSW!

[MB Assoc of School Social Workers @MASSW2018]

“We have attraction in different ways” than just sexual. Great point! I wish this was talked about more, especially with young people.
@RainbowResCtr #MTSPDDAY

[MB Assoc of School Social Workers @MASSW2018]

Bre Calma: “Being misgendered every single time I go out in public makes it more difficult for me to express myself the way that feels comfortable to me.” Such good reflections for those of us @MASSW2018’s #MTSPDDay2022

[MB Assoc of School Social Workers @MASSW2018]

Someone’s legal name is not always the same as their ‘real name’. Cisnormativity assumes that almost all individuals are cisgender. See gender diversity.
- Bre Calma @RainbowResCtr rocking it at #MTSPDDay2022

[MB Assoc of School Social Workers @MASSW2018]

“Gender is something we grow into and learn from our families, cultures, society, not something we are born with”. - Bre Calma @RainbowResCtr

[MB Assoc of School Social Workers @MASSW2018]

“Gender identity and sex assigned at birth are not the same thing”, and neither one are visible. - Bre Calma @RainbowResCtr speaking to our crowd. #MTSPDDay

[MB Assoc of School Social Workers @MASSW2018]

Here we go! @MASSW welcomes 225 participants from 33 school divisions across Manitoba! #MTSPDDay

[MB Assoc of School Social Workers @MASSW2018]

Are you ready, @mbteachers? #MTSPDDAY2022 is only hours away now! We are getting excited at MASSW to present speakers in supporting 2SLGBTQ++ students, colleagues, and families.
