Supporting Military-Connected LGBTQ+ Youth: Tips for Helping Professionals

In recognition of Pride Month, the Center of the Study of Traumatic Stress has developed a new fact sheet, "Supporting Military-Connected LGBTQ+ Youth: Tips for Helping Professionals"
Youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or who are questioning their sexual or gender identity (LGBTQ+) may face harassment and discrimination, which are associated with negative mental health outcomes. This fact sheet raises awareness among helping professionals (e.g., educators, health care providers, community support personnel) who work with military youth.
