Does SOGI 123 Help Safety in School? The Evidence from BC

Lunch with SARAVYC

This session will spotlight key findings from SARAVYC's recent evaluation of SOGI 123 - a BC-based initiative that supports inclusive school environments for students of sexual orientations and gender identities. We'll explore what the data reveals about school safety, inclusion, and the continuing challenges faced by 2SLGBTQIA+ youth. 

Dr. Elizabeth Saewyc, Professor and Director, UBC School of Nursing, and Executive Director, SARAVYC, will present the findings. The session will be moderated by Dr. Monica Rana, Managing Director, SARAVYC, and sessional Lecturer, UBC School of Nursing. 

Stigma and Resilience Among Vulnerable Youth Centre (SARAVYC) is proud to host this conversation shortly after the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT) as we continue our commitment to research that supports equity, safety, and affirmation in youth spaces.
