From the Simple to the Systemic (Part 3 of 4): The Healthcare Needs of LGBTQIA+ Youth

When it comes to youth in care, “I see you” prevents ICU. Making health and child welfare systems a safe and welcoming place for LGBTQIA+ youth leads to better health outcomes.
Youth of every sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression (SOGIE) need access to high-quality healthcare to lead their best lives. For system-involved youth who identify as LGBTQIA+, access to the right health care can be a matter of life and death.

Join us to learn about key aspects of health care for youth, including:
Importance of primary and behavioral health care access;
Trauma-informed care for LGBTQIA+ youth;
Care coordination and support through Coordinated Care of Washington, Inc.;
Gender affirming coverage under Medicaid; and DCYF policy and parental consent considerations
The presenters recommend attending From the Simple to the Systemic Part 1: Supporting LGBTQIA+ Youth before attending this session.
