(GEAE) would like to thank those who sponsored the highly successful Intersections of Equality Symposium on April 30, 2016 at Penn State Behrend. Special thanks to our major sponsor, Erie Insurance! Additional generous donors were; Penn State Erie, Highmark, Northwest Savings,UPMC Health, and Sunset Inn. Table sponsors included Lake Erie Counseling, the Cultured Purl, Safe Net, Safe Harbor, Erie Gay News, and NWPA Pride Alliance.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2010, GEAE has committed to strengthening the voice of the LGBT community through educational programming. This biannual symposium consisted of four diverse plenary sessions designed to advance GEAE&#8217;s mission in a variety of sectors in the greater Erie community. Dr. William Koehler and Dr. Hilary Copp from the Edinboro University Social Work Department presented a trauma-informed approach to working with LGBT youth. Pennsylvania Physician General, Dr. Rachael Levine informed participants of the state of transgender health care and rights throughout Pennsylvania. Dr. Andrew Caswell from the Gannon University Psychology Department discussed rebellion and conformity in gender roles. The final session consisted of a panel of four different artists facilitated by Allegheny College faculty, Darren Miller, MFA. Additionally, information tables from 8 different agencies and organizations were available throughout the day for participants to gain an understanding of the variety of services available to the LGBT individuals and families in the region. <\/p>\n<p>If you would like to obtain a copy of the slides presented in any of the plenary sessions, or would like to find out about future GEAE educational programming, please email us at <a href=\"mailto:geaeinfo@gmail.com\" class=\"autohyperlink\">geaeinfo@gmail.com<\/a>.<br \/>\nFor more about Greater Erie Alliance for Equality, browse to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatereriealliance.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.greatereriealliance.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mkmahler\/26364911283\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7348\/26364911283_165c1752a8_n.jpg\" alt=\"2016-04-30 GEAE Symposium-21\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2016-04-30 GEAE Symposium-21 Michael Mahler posted a photo: The Greater Erie Alliance for Equality, Inc.
