This episode seeks to better equip practitioners to provide empowering services and interventions to LGBTQ+ youth in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Specific attention is given to the dynamics that contribute to the overrepresentation of LGBTQ+ youth and their experiences in care. Additionally, we examine the critical role of family and foster family acceptance. Dr. McCormick will also explore the added vulnerabilities of LGBTQ+ youth to homelessness and trafficking. Specific attention will be given to using an intersectional approach to look at the experiences of LGBTQ+ youth of color.
