When: Monday, August 14, from 10:00 AM PT
Hosted by: National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges
Overview: This will be a conversation for service providers and justice system stakeholders who are interested in creating safer spaces for LGBTQ2S+ youth. LGBTQ2S+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and two-spirit) youth in rural and urban settings report higher rates of dating and sexual violence and are more likely to experience homelessness and be trafficked due to cultural norms that devalue and subject LGBTQ2S+ youth to harm. Recent changes in state and community practices have impacted youth participation in healthcare, education, and other social services, placing LGBTQ2S+ youth at even more risk of experiencing harm or being trafficked. This webinar will identify key strategies for outreach and providing culturally relevant community connections and services for LGBTQ2S+ youth. Participants will be given the opportunity to submit their questions in registration and live during the session.
