Connecting with Faye for Statewide Change

I work across this state to increase communication, promote collaboration, and otherwise improve the outcomes for LGBTQ+ individuals in a number of meaningful ways. I'm often not necessarily leading efforts, but my role tends to be making the efforts already happening as successful as possible. I am personally leading efforts to reduce suicides within LGBTQ+ Youth. If you'd like to learn more about anything here or be involved in creating change, please email me at fayeseidler@gmail.com. 

Nonpartisan Efforts
While LGBTQ+ individuals are often politically attacked, LGBTQ+ identity is not political. I not only work with, I expect to work with people of every faith and political party to help reduce suicide and increase hope. 

Community Organizing
Maintain a List of LGBTQ+ Stakeholders Across State (Updated Every Three Months)

• Connect with local LGBTQ+ organizations to plan events, donate money, or otherwise connect

Maintain a List of Affirming Providers Across State (Still Pending, then Updated Every Six Months)

• Allows LGBTQ+ individuals to find local affirming doctors 

Lead ND GSA Network (Meetings Twice per School Year)

• Supports Gender Sexuality Alliance Faculty through sharing resources, stories, and perspective

Provide Listserv of all relevant events/promote new events (Once or Twice Each Month)

• Promotes events, new research, and current events throughout the state

Training and Consulting 
While explored on this website, I consider my training and consulting to be extensions of my advocacy rather than a business. We can improve outcomes for queer populations by making sure professionals have the education and tools necessary and organizations have the policy to support their staff and clients.  

Suicide Prevention Efforts

• Maintaining Accurate Outcome Data for LGBTQ+ Adults and Youth
• Collaborate with NDAFSP, FirstLink, Suicide Prevention Coalitions, and  Sources of Strength
• Create a resources list for journalists around safe reporting
• Provide education to all organizations across ND that improve outcomes for LGBTQ+ populations
