We hope that the All Families Welcome brochure will be of assistance to you as we work together to educate teachers and administrators about LGBT families. Safe Schools Resource Guide is Now Online! The Coalition's new Safe Schools Resource Guide pulls together over 400 pages of key Safe Schools resources, legal information, curricula, and organizing strategies into a user-friendly web format. No more re-inventing the wheel - you'll be able to find it all in one place.
