Ally networks
Ally networks are networks of health, social services, education, and community organisation professionals who have expressed the wish to act as resource persons for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgendered people (LGBT). Pink Triangle Services supports and encourages such networks.
Training programmes
A training program entitled Pour une nouvelle vision de l’homosexualité (Toward a New Vision of Homosexuality) is being offered to teachers. Adapted to the needs of professionals from the health and social services network and from community groups, this programme is handled by the Ministère de la Santé de des Services sociaux du Québec.
Student groups
We can encourage student groups to show how they are open to gay and lesbian issues and to discuss them. What these groups need is support from adults. |

School datebooks
If it hasn’t been done already, the address section of datebooks for students can feature the names, addresses and phone numbers of organisations who provide services for LGBT people.
Inviting a guest speaker
Learning institutions can invite guest speakers to the classroom to share personal stories related to their sexual orientation. Organisations such as GRIS (Research and Social Outreach Group), provide this service in Quebec.
Hanging posters
Hanging a poster on the wall at school says a lot. In addition to the information a poster provides, its simple presence in a school shows that the school is open to gay and lesbian issues.
