Pathways to Permanency: Dismantling System of Care Pipelines

jueves, el 1 de agosto de 2019 a las 15:40–17:10 PDT
Salon B
Workshop Description

Nationally, LGBTQ+ youth are disproportionately represented in child welfare systems, the juvenile justice system, mental health systems, and among youth experiencing homelessness/displacement. Utilizing evidence-informed strategies developed through our research project with the William's Institute, we will discuss and challenge the barriers and outcomes LGBTQ+ youth of color face in systems of care, with an emphasis on child welfare. Blending community organizing, grass-tops advocacy, and social work disciplines, participants will gain knowledge and tools needed to disrupt the intricate pipelines of rejection and negative outcomes for LGBTQ+ youth in systems of care at their local level.
