Enhancing Mental Health Support for LGBTQ+ Youths
To Register: shorturl.at/GFB3X
Date: September 20, 2024
12:00 pm – 1:30 pm PT
As society continues to embrace diversity, the mental health community is increasingly called upon to provide effective and affirming care for LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse youths. With over two million such children and adolescents in the United States—a number that is steadily increasing—the need for specialized knowledge and skills is more important than ever.
Compared to their peers, LGTBQ+ youths experience disproportionate rates of adversity and trauma, including child maltreatment. Well-intended professionals who do not know or understand best practices risk unintentionally perpetuating harm. This webinar serves as a starting point for bridging the knowledge gap and fostering informed discussions.
In this 90-minute session, host David Prescott brings together a panel of mental health providers who either serve LGBTQ+ youths or identify as LGBTQ+ themselves to explore:
· Characteristics of allyship within the mental health field
· Common challenges faced when providing mental health services to LGBTQ+ youths and their families
· Strategies for delivering affirming and inclusive care
Join us as we work together to enhance our understanding and improve the mental health care provided to youths with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. By participating in this discussion, you will not only gain valuable insights from experienced professionals but also contribute to a collective effort to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all young individuals.
