Sharpen interpersonal skills and professional practices to better address the needs of sexual minority youth--those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning; review legal obligations and model policies that promote safe schools; learn strategies for stopping harassment; and receive an extensive Resource Guide for Educators. This workshop is designed to help educators improve school climate and safety for all youth. Research consistently finds sexual minority youth to be at high risk of homelessness, alcohol and substance abuse, harassment, assaults, suicide, school failure/dropouts, and truancy. Several School districts around the country have been dealt significant defeats in the courts for failing to provide services and a safe environment for sexual minority youth. Some of the legal and ethical obligations that school systems and their employees have to serve and protect this population will be addressed.
The audience for this course is all school personnel interested in providing a safe environment.
