Safe Space | Emory University

Safe Space

The Emory Safe Space program is an optional 3.5-hour training designed to help faculty, staff, and students provide support for the LGBT community at Emory. Participants who complete the training will be better equipped to help our undergraduate and graduate students achieve success.

Why become Safe Space trained?

Safe Space training is a great way to learn how to better support students and coworkers. By completing the training, you signal to students and colleagues that you are committed to supporting the LGBTQ community.

When are trainings?

Safe Space trainings are offered once per month. We also offer trainings outside of that for groups of eight or more people. For more information about when the trainings are scheduled this semester and how to register, visit our registration section on this page.
