MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Representing an often overlooked population in social work literature, this book explores the experiences of LGBTQ youth as they navigate the child welfare system. Adam McCormick and Kathryn Schmidt examine the entirety of a youth's experience, from referral into care, challenges to obtaining permanency, to aging out or leaving care. Included throughout the book are stories from LGBTQ youth who address personal issues such as abuse, bullying and harassment, double standards, and more. Filled with resources to foster resilience and empower youth, this book is ideal for professionals who are hoping to create a more inclusive and affirming system of care for LGBTQ youth.
