Welcome to the
Keystone Conference!
March 28th - 31st, 2012 in
Harrisburg, PA

It's Over, But We Want Your Feedback Please!

Welcome to the Fourth Annual Keystone
Conference, "A Celebration of Gender Diversity," hosted by
TransCentralPA in Pennsylvania’s capitol city of Harrisburg! You
are in store for an informative, inspirational and joyous time
among members and supporters of the Transgender community at the
lovely Sheraton Harrisburg-Hershey Hotel.
As the keystone bridges and holds together
associated entities, Trans-identifying people do the same, and
the Keystone Conference is a celebration of the unique diversity
of gender and our central and unifying place in society.
Pennsylvania is known as the Keystone State because of its
significance in unifying the early colonies, and it is quite
relevant that we hold this conference here in the state’s
capitol, ideally located within an easy drive from six major
east coast cities.

On Friday night at 6:00 pm during the time of the
Butterfly Ball, we are hosting a Family & Friends
Reception of LGBTQIA youth. If you are a family member
or friend of a LGBTQIA youth, this is a time to meet
others like yourself, network and express your feelings
in an environment of friendship. Come and share your
successes and challenges that both you and your loved
one have faced so others may learn and grow. This
reception will be held in the Private Dining Room of the
Dog & Pony Restaurant and Lounge. So please stop by and
visit, take part in the discussion and meet some new
friends. There is no cost and is open to everyone!
Please RSVP at

Our Youth Program
We know that young people struggle with issues unique to
their being transgender--because we sure did.
Education and socialization are two vital tools to help
young people find personal satisfaction, gain acceptance
and realize their goals of achievement…and we are
providing both, here at the Keystone Conference, for
transgender youth. |
|
|
 |
|
Continuing
Education
Welcome licensed professional counselors,
marriage therapists and social
workers and therapists! Because your knowledge of
transgender people is so important to our community, we want
to help you further your knowledge of us. To that end
we are now co-sponsored with Bryn Mawr College Graduate
School of Social Work and Social Research to provide
Continuing Education Credits for approved workshops at
Keystone Conference 2012.

Our Helping Hand Program
Nervous? Need a friend with a warm
smile? If you are feeling a bit
faint-hearted, consider connecting with Keystone’s
Helping Hand program. These volunteers
are here to answer questions and help put aside any
fears you might have about facing the world as you take
those first steps out of the 'proverbial closet.'
They can be your first contact here at Keystone and can
help you get through that initial trepidation you might
have. They are neither babysitters nor guidance
counselors, but rather a friendly face with a warm heart
that can give you good advice to get a good beginning.
If you feel you need a Helping Hand, please email us at
HelpingHand@Keystone-Conference.org. |

Please
