A Conversation with Field Leaders about LGBTQ+ Youth Wellness

About

Across the country, policies are becoming increasingly hostile to the LGBTQ+ community. Young people are deeply impacted by policies and practices designed to stigmatize and isolate them.

Our panelists will discuss how LGBTQ+ youth are impacted by these policies and practices, offer general indicators of wellness among LGBTQ+ youth, including belonging, inclusivity, identity, and physical and emotional safety, and share practices that allow the young people in their communities to thrive.

We’ll discuss:

• Strategies to support LGBTQ+ youth inclusivity;
• How organizations are supporting LGBTQ+ safety amidst increasing attacks on their physical and emotional safety; and
• how funders can center the inclusivity, belonging, and safety of LGBTQ+ youth.

This program is free and open to grantmakers and others in the thriving youth community. GTY’s webinars and funder learning opportunities are made possible through the time and expertise of presenters from the field. In the spirit of transparency, GTY will make available the list of webinar participants to presenters upon request, unless the registrant requests to remain anonymous (please indicate your preference via the registration form).
