TransActive & PFLAG Oregon North Coast Present “Of Trucks and Tiaras” Workshop

In partnership with the Clatsop Community College IOU (Isms, Obias, and Us) Committee, TransActive Education & Advocacy and PFLAG Oregon North Coast present "Of Trucks and Tiaras: Supporting Trans and Gender Non-conforming Children and Youth in Your Community" Thursday, November 17 from 3:00-5:00pm at Clatsop Community College’s Columbia Hall, 1651 Lexington Ave, Astoria, in Room 219.

The two-hour workshop will cover tools and tips for how to best support gender non-conforming youth aged 4 to 18 - kids who may identify as transgender, gay, or lesbian, but also any youth bullied for "not acting like a lady" or "being a sissy". The workshop is designed for parents, teachers, students, counselors, and other adults in the community who work with youth. There is no cost to attend the workshop, though donations will gladly be accepted.

TransActive Education & Advocacy works with the families of gender non-conforming children to minimize and prevent child abuse by providing parents with resources and support, and encourages youth empowerment by working with schools, pediatricians and case workers to ensure a healthy and safe environment for gender non-conforming children to grow up in.
