LGBTQ youth in care often face unique challenges that can increase their risk of negative outcomes, including rejection, isolation, and lack of affirming support. This training is designed specifically for caregivers and focuses on how supportive, youth-centered case planning can reduce these risks and promote safety, stability, and well-being. Caregivers will learn practical strategies to affirm the identities and experiences of LGBTQ youth, build trusting relationships, and collaborate effectively with case teams. Through real-life scenarios and guided reflection, participants will leave with tools to create a more supportive and affirming home environment that meets the diverse needs of the youth in their care.
