LGBTQ+ Youth Suicide Prevention
Via Zoom
The 2020 Trevor Project suicide prevention survey of more than 40,000 teenagers identified a number of identity-specific risk factors for BIPOC and multi-sexual youth. Using an intersectional lens this 90 minute webinar will explore evidence-based suicide risk and protective factors for LGBTQ+ adolescents. In addition, we provide a brief review of current definitions and emerging identities, access to a web-based resource guide and plenty of time for questions and answers.
