We have four engaging webinars taking place this week!
Three from our Beyond Neglect series, focusing on child welfare including First Nations child and family services (FNCFS), B.C. and continuous quality approach.
The fourth addresses trans suicide.

Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion de la #JournéeDuSouvenirTrans, nous nous souvenons de toutes les personnes trans courageuses qui nous ont été arrachées bien trop tôt.
Pour honorer leur mémoire, nous devons nous engager à briser les cycles de haine et de violence anti-trans.

Today, on #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance, we remember the courageous trans people who were taken far too soon.
To honour their legacies, we must commit ourselves to break the cycles of anti-trans hate and violence.

Today is Intersex Day of Solidarity and Remembrance. It's an opportunity to highlight the continued struggles faced by intersex people globally, from unnecessary medical intervention to stigma. We all deserve to be treated with dignity, and live a life free from discrimination.

CASW condemns recent rhetoric and policy changes targeting 2SLGBTQIA+ children and youth, particularly trans and gender queer kids.
Any policy that requires outing a queer young person is against the social work code of ethics.

CASW stands in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community today and everyday.
Social workers are called to protect children's rights to their gender identity and expression, and create safe, inclusionary, and equitable spaces for all! #ProtectTransKids #TransRightsAreHumanRights
NS Social Workers retweeted
For students to reach their full potential, schools must be spaces free of discrimination, where all students are celebrated, valued and feel safe to express who they are without fear.

Rising hate. Anti-🏳️🌈 marches planned across Canada. A community in fear.
And - aside from statements - no meaningful intervention from the federal government.
