LGBTQ+ Youth Under Attack: National Trends,
Law & Policy Strategies, and Resources for Advocacy
Trans youth¡¯s healthcare has been heavily curtailed and 41% of LGBTQ+ youth report seriously considering suicide. 1 in 3 foster youth openly identify
as LGBTQ+ yet child welfare systems provide few focused services, few LGBTQ friendly homes, and limited healthcare options. This workshop will discuss the effect the new laws have on transitioning youth, what services are still available, and resources for
queer youth in foster care and turning 18. It will also discuss practical trial advocacy strategies and provide an overview of national and state law and policy, recommended practices, and publications which may help persuade judges and other stakeholders.?
Presenters:
Danni Leader,?JD, MSW, MSED ¨C Fulton County Office of the Child Attorney
Anissa Patton, JD, CWLS ¨C Fulton County Office of the Child Attorney
