OOL_0040 Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth

Annie and Candis are joined this week by Rachael, a parent and social worker, who shares personal experience and her perspective of working with youth who identify as LGBTQ+. Together they talk about the numbers, the bright spots, and the dangers of ignoring the needs of young people who don't fit neatly into the binary. Being supportive to a young person in need has been shown to shift the trajectory and can offer young people a sense of belonging.
