Program/Event Details:
The Children’s Safety Network (CSN) is addressing suicide prevention and bullying awareness in the upcoming webinar on youth data for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, or another non-heterosexual identity (LGBTQ+) . LGBTQ+ youth experience persistent disparities. According to the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), LGBTQ+ youth are more likely to experience bullying, suicidal ideation, and suicidal attempts than their peers (CDC, 2024). Due to changing environments states and jurisdictions face, gathering and utilizing data on LGBTQ+ youth for prevention purposes has become increasingly more difficult. Please join the Children’s Safety Network on Wednesday, November 20th from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET to learn more about LGBTQ+ Youth Data from YRBS and the Trevor Project’s 2024 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ Young People, specifically focusing on suicide and self-harm prevention and bullying prevention.
Nicolas Suarez, a health scientist at the CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health, and Dr. Ronita Nath, Vice President of Research at The Trevor Project, will present on data on LGBTQ+ youth. Dr. Alex Keuroghlian, Director of the Division of Education and Training at The Fenway Institute and Children’s Safety Now Alliance member, will moderate the webinar.
