Start the Discussion
The goal of Pride understanding is to create communication tools to increase Gender Diversity Literacy. We believe in the art of storytelling to start a conversation.
Working with community partners, the stories have been developed to increase awareness, understanding and decrease stigma; giving families, schools and caregivers the tools to create a safe environment to ask questions and start a discussion.
Pride understanding works with M.I.understanding, hosting a Gender identity booth at the ‘Creating a Community of Support’ exhibits and offering the PIPE program to families and children in the LGBT community.
