Creating Supportive Environments for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Youth

The Prevention Researcher,
Volume 17, Number 4, 2010

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth are at high risk for a number of negative health and mental health outcomes. This issue of The Prevention Researcher goes beyond these established risks, and instead, looks at the emerging research regarding supportive homes, schools, and communities. By creating supportive environments for LGBT youth we can help them avoid risks, feel supported, and grow into healthy adulthood.
