The needs and rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and
questioning (LGBTQ) students and families are often ignored,
generally misunderstood, and only rarely given priority by the
school system. This book provides a practical and useful guide for
school-based mental health professionals to support students,
families, teachers, and administrators in the development of a
safe, inclusive school environment for all LGBTQ students and
families. It begins with an overview of the unique issues and
challenges faced by LGBTQ students and families, including a
discussion of sexuality and gender identity development within the
interconnected contexts of home, school, and community. Practical
steps are given for creating an inclusive school environment;
implementing prevention and intervention techniques to address
discrimination, bullying, and violence; and organizing effective
counseling programs for LGBTQ students. These school-based efforts
are then extended to working with families and communities to
reinforce steps taken in the school context. An accompanying CD
includes numerous handouts, sample letters, and other resources to
assist the school-based mental health professional in implementing
responsive and affirmative practices for LGBTQ students and
families.
