Approximately 30% of youth in the child welfare system are LGBTQ. The trauma of foster care can be intensified for LGBTQ youth who face a wide array of compounding mental and physical health challenges. This webinar will discuss the HRC Foundation’s analysis of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data and what it means for LGBTQ youth and child welfare workers. The intersectional conversation includes topics such as academic performance, drug and alcohol use, health, housing instability, and violence. Topics will also consider the compounding effects of race, ethnicity and gender identity on the outcomes of youth.
