Working effectively and affirmatively with queer and questioning youth
Description
The life experiences of queer and questioning youth are, in general, not that different from other adolescents' experiences in today's world. The most profound difference is that queer and questioning youth experience a challenging developmental stage through the harsh lens of societal homoprejudice. Each stage and transition is compounded by societal bigotry and discrimination, locally, nationally, and globally. Add to this experience the additional multiple ethnic and racial identities and adolescence becomes, at best, extraordinarily complicated and, at worst, harrowing and potentially life-threatening. The presenter will demonstrate how to effectively address the myriad issues of adolescence while affirmatively acknowledging and honoring different and unique identities emphasizing strengths and possibilities while ameliorating pain and disenfranchisement.
