About Safe Zone

Western had a Safe Zone program from 2012-2016. This program was an impactful start to support students, faculty, and staff as they developed knowledge about the LGBTQ+ community. Safe Zone is not just for straight and cisgender people, but meant for people of any identity can support their LGBTQ+ friends, students, colleagues, and community. Many LGBTQ+ people use Safe Zone trainings to learn about identities they don't hold, and may even explore their identities using the information learned. Learn more.
