Speaking OUT: A special report on LGBTQ2S+ young people in the child welfare and youth justice systems.
Graff, D.
The information for this report was gathered through a combination of one-to-one interviews, focus groups, and online surveys. In total, over 280 young people and stakeholders participated in lending their voices to this report.
Based on what we heard, four themes emerged:
- Identity
- Safety
- Appropriate places to live
- Services and supports
with five recommendations arising from the report intended to improve the circumstances for LGBTQ2S+young people in government care.
