LGBTQ Youth and Juvenile Justice: Emerging Policy and Practice Lessons

Please join Vera for a panel discussion about LGBTQ youth in juvenile justice featuring an expert researcher, policy maker, and practitioner.

The panelists will discuss research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth in the juvenile justice system and how juvenile justice departments are better serving LGBTQ youth through changes to policy and practice. The discussion will also include considerations for social service agencies and juvenile justice systems in working with youths’ families.
