Creating Inclusive Services for LGBT Youth in Out of Home Care: Training Resources.
The Out of Home Youth Advocacy Council (a project administered jointly by Family Builders by Adoption. Legal Services for Children. National Center for Lesbian Rights) has developed training resources to support the creation of inclusive services for LGBT Youth in Out of Home Care. These resources include: a Know Your Rights Guide, a "Hate Free Zone" poster, CWLA Best Practice Guidelines, Breaking the Silence: LGBTQ Foster Youth Tell their Stories (a DVD containing short digital stories by former foster youth who identify as LGBT), a PowerPoint presentation about creating inclusive systems of care for LGBT youth, and others. Training tips and key messages are outlined in order to support the effective use of these resources. http://www.nclrights.org/site/DocServer/Preface_OHYAC_training_FINAL.pdf?docID=2921
