Foster Care Training

Creating Affirming Spaces for Trans and Queer Youth is comprehensive training about better meeting the needs of youth in the queer and trans community. As queer and trans youth are over-represented in systems of care, all service providers should be mindful of their unique experiences in these systems. The training will provide an introduction to Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) terminology, the systemic oppression that members of these identities experience currently and historically, and an opportunity to discuss and practice ways that service providers can support queer and trans youth more effectively.
