The Protocol for Safe & Affirming Care, Part II: Discussing SOGIE with Systems-Involved Youth

jueves, el 9 de agosto de 2018 a las 13:30–14:50 PDT
Rm 203
Workshop Description

How can we improve our child welfare and juvenile justice systems for transgender and gender-diverse youth? We'll address this question through reflecting on the lessons learned from pilot implementation of the Protocol for Safe & Affirming Care—a guide for systems professionals on how to better support LGBTQ+ youth. We will learn about the development of the Protocol and its implementation, and then apply these lessons as you strategize about how you can make your organization safer and more affirming. In Part II, we explore the importance behind discussing sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression (SOGIE) with systems-involved youth, reflect on lessons learned from the Protocol pilot implementation sites’ efforts to do so, and work interactively to identify and address concerns regarding talking to youth about SOGIE.
