Caring for LGBTQ Youth: An Introduction for Foster and Adoptive Parents
About Course
Foster and adoptive parents are an extremely diverse community of people with one thing in common: the desire to love, nurture and care for children and youth. Many parents may not realize that LGBTQ youth are over represented in foster care and are at higher risks of rejection and harm while in care. This webinar will first explain key terms and concepts that all foster/adoptive parents need to know in order to better understand LGBTQ youth. Research on the importance of providing affirming homes for these youth, as well as concrete tips for how to be affirming will then be presented.

Student Ratings & Reviews
Good information, Very educational.
great overview
yes
It’s nice to know there are groups that can help each other
It is overall great information, but I believe it can have more personal experiences from youth to give care givers a little bit more to go on when caring for, comforting and explaining to youth.
Awesome information to have if an LGBTQ individual is placed in my home. I would want to be caring and understanding.
