Why Now?
We are in the midst of a youth mental health crisis—and LGBTQ+ youth are at the epicenter.
LGBTQ+ youth are more than 4x as likely to attempt suicide than their peers.
Nearly 70% of LGBTQ+ students report feeling unsafe at school (GLSEN, 2023).
Affirming educators are one of the strongest protective factors in reducing suicide risk (The Trevor Project).
Educators report high levels of burnout and uncertainty when it comes to supporting LGBTQ+ students—leaving a critical gap in school safety and adult preparedness.
Educators are seeking clarity and support to continue fostering classrooms where all identities, family structures, and lived experiences are respected—while also navigating evolving federal and state directives.
Proven Impact:
Piloted in Community School District 13 (Brooklyn) in Spring 2025, TF! produced measurable, transformative outcomes:
94% of educators reported increased confidence advocating for LGBTQ+ students.
96% implemented new inclusive practices in their classrooms.
94% felt more confident interrupting bias from students, and 78% from adults.
Educators called TF! “liberating,” “transformational,” and “one of the only PDs where I felt fed instead of drained.”
