Throughout #PrideMonth in June, the Pride flag will fly proudly at Peel schools and worksites in recognition and celebration of the many achievements and contributions of 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Together, let’s help create spaces that are safe, inclusive and welcoming for all.

Today marks the beginning of Pride Month, a celebration of 2SLGBTQ+ people & the history of Pride. Pride is another opportunity for educators to share messages of hope and affirm all diverse gender identities & sexualities. Find resources to help you at: intranet.peelschools.org/comm/cr/Months…

You can in fact suppress problems, we can use these fairly harsh techniques to get a child to behave the way we want. But the problem is still there and it's still that underlying sense of insecurity, of being scared and it grows in the way stress cycles do grow. #SelfReg
