Trans and Non-Binary/LGBTQIA2+ Employee Resource Group

While not directly specific to trans and non-binary student support, this work can get tiring, especially for those that are one of only a few people doing this work on a particular campus. Maybe even one of the few openly LGBTQIA+ employees on that campus at all. Having a queer and trans-affirming space for employees can help reduce burnout by building community and boosting support for each other. This group can also serve to share resources and information about employee benefits, such as medical benefits or family planning and parental leave. An employee resource group can also foster opportunities for mentorship or professional development, developing a pathway for career advancement for trans and non-binary employees.
