    LGBTQIA+Services at Lehman

    Lehman College is home to a diverse and engaged community of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and allied students, staff, and faculty. Here students will find ways to connect with this community and get information they may need.

    Lehman College Counseling Center works to foster the academic success and personal growth of LGBTQIA+ students, and to offer college-wide services to enhance the campus community's understanding and appreciation of LGBTQIA+ people and themselves.

    LGBTQIA+ Community and the Counseling Center

    The Counseling Center is a safe space for anyone who identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer, or anyone who is questioning their own sexual orientation or gender identity. Students are encouraged to come in to talk with any of the Center's counselors to help with the journey of identity formation, sexuality and gender. Each semester, the Counseling Center offers support for LGBTQIA+ students focused on the life-long journey of "coming out."

    For more resources:

    • Dear Trevor: an interactive online Q and A sponsored by The Trevor Project
    • It Gets Better Project: videos of support by teens, adults and celebrities

    Training Services Available

    The Counseling Center is available to provide training and workshops on a variety of issues related to sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and the LGBTQIA+ community including workshops about stigma and violence, adolescent development, and the "coming out" process. If you are looking for a speaker for a class or a club, or professional development training, contact us.

    The Safe Zone Initiative: An Ally Community

    The "Safe Zone" Initiative

    The "Safe Zone" InitiativeIn January 2009, the Counseling Center and the Rainbow Alliance launched a campus-wide "Safe Zone" project to increase the visibility of LGBT allies throughout the Lehman campus. People who identified themselves as LGBTQIA+ or who are active allies of the LGBTQIA+ community were asked to participate by attending an initial training workshop. They were then asked to wear or post the "Safe Zone" graphic and to visibly identify themselves on campus as people who are educated about sexual orientation and gender identity, and who oppose bigotry and hatred directed at LGBTQIA+ people. Safe Zone stickers, posters, and buttons can be seen throughout the campus.

    List of Safe Zone Ally Community Members

    The following Lehman faculty/staff are participants in the Safe Zone initiative:

    • Karen Smith Moore, Director, Counseling Center
    • Merrill Parra, Director, Office of Student Disability Services
    • Prof. Stuart Chen-Hayes, Counseling, Leadership, Literacy, and Special Education

    How To Join

    How To Join "Safe Zone" communityIt's easy to become a member of the "Safe Zone" community. Simply attend a "Safe Zone" one-hour training workshop. At the end of the workshop you will receive your Safe Zone materials to make yourself visible to the community, along with a resource guide. "Safe Zone" trainings are held each semester; workshops are offered for staff and students separately.

    The training workshop ensures that all community members have a common level of basic knowledge and the tools needed to be an effective “safe” person for LGBTQIA+ students and people who are questioning their own sexual orientation or gender identity. The training covers the following topics:

    Affirming language and vocabulary for talking about sexuality and gender identity

    The prevalence of homophobic harassment and what you can do to stop it

    The "Coming-Out" process and how you can help

    Where to find on-campus help and LGBTQIA+ community resources

    Safe Zone Ally trainings are offered each semester, enabling new volunteers to join the effort throughout the year.
