SAMHSA’s National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) Child Sexual Abuse committee launched a new video which highlights the effect of trauma on LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning) youth; how bias impedes optimal care, and practical steps for creating safe and welcoming environments for traumatized LGBTQ youth. The video features five LGBTQ youth describing how trauma and bias have affected their ability to feel safe when seeking services. Presenters discuss specific steps that professionals and organizations can take to create safer and more welcoming environments for traumatized LGBTQ youth.
