This webinar is essential for mental health professionals, counselors, social workers, educators, and anyone committed to supporting the well-being of LGBTQ+ youth. Whether you’re new to working in this field or looking to enhance your existing practice, you’ll find valuable, actionable insights.

In this 90-minute session, host David Prescott brings together a panel of mental health providers who either serve LGBTQ+ youths or identify as LGBTQ+ themselves to explore:
- Characteristics of allyship within the mental health field
- Common challenges faced when providing mental health services to LGBTQ+ youths and their families
- Strategies for delivering affirming and inclusive care

Join us as we work together to enhance our understanding and improve the mental health care provided to youths with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. By participating in this discussion, you will not only gain valuable insights from experienced professionals but also contribute to a collective effort to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all young individuals.
