Providing Services to LGBTQ Youth

More and more, today’s youth are openly self-identifying as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or questioning (LGBTQ) their sexuality and gender identity. There is an urgent need to ensure that comprehensive and culturally competent social and mental health services and resources are available for LGBTQ youth.
