Hi,
We are sending out these letter's of introduction to make you aware of our
new constantly updated site.
Since we are continuously sending out these letters as new sources come to
us, it is reasonable to assume that some of you may get this letter more
than once.
If you do, we apologize. It is impossible to check for duplicates each time
we send out a mailing.
Our main focus is Youth who are questioning themselves re: who they are.
They may be Bisexual, Transgender, Lesbian or Gay.
We believe it is imperative to teach our questioning youth to be accepting
of who they are. We focus our efforts in that
direction and also in the direction of helping schools provide a safe
environment for all children where "all" really means "all."
When people think of the term "safety in schools," most people don't realize
that many of our children are acting out self destructively (i.e. doing
poorly in school, appearing as
loners, deferring to peer pressure.....) because they are squelching
themselves out of fear.
Gay/lesbian/bisexual and transgender people are commonly
denigrated in our society and are often brutally attacked. This is more
than enough reason to squelch one's natural/comfortable expression of self
even in the educational environment.
Our educators need to be made aware of this unseen catalyst that may be
brewing in their students and educators can be taught how to deal with this
unknown factor.
Eventhough these children may not act out in a violent way, they need an
adult/educator to turn to for help. Educators can help
parents become open to helping their children deal with
inner feelings and outer behavior.
We also provide information not only to schools but to others in the
community as well.
What we would like is to have your permission to post your
organization on our Website in order for our visitors to find any help that
they can use.
If you have a website, we would love to exchange links with you.
When you reply, please include the name of your site and the URL.
If you have a list, we would love to be on that list to receive your
information. We would also like your permission to post items (non-personal
only) to our site.
There is NO charge to have you listed on our site.
Whether or not you have a website or a list, please tell others about us so
we may serve them as well.
