Many juvenile justice systems don't know how many young people in their system identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) and often lack appropriate policies that meet their unique needs.
Please join the Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) for a webinar on "LGBT Youth in Juvenile Justice: Creating Agency Policies for an Equitable System on the State and Local Level" on November 2 at 2:30 pm ET.
This webinar will discuss the need for agency policies to support LGBT young people in the juvenile justice system. Participants will learn how the Massachusetts Department of Youth Services and Santa Clara County Probation Department developed policies for LGBT youth in their system, as well as different strategies for creating similar policies in state- and county-based systems.
