LGBTQ+ youth are at elevated risk for experiencing additional traumas that are specifically or in part related to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity and expression (SOGIE).  This workshop will examine the integration of the Family Acceptance Project’s (FAP) Family support Model into TF-CBT to better meet the needs of LGBTQI+ youth and families.  We will identify ways to implement the phases and components of the model through strengths-based, resiliency-building approaches with an emphasis on enhancing the caregiver’s potential to be sources of support for the youth.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Discuss the process of integrating the Family Acceptance Project’s Family Support Model into TF-CBT. 
2. Explore the relationships between different traumatic experiences and the LGBTQ youth population, especially parental and family rejection. 
3. List key considerations for screening LGBTQ youth for trauma and posttraumatic stress symptoms. 
4. Recognize confidentiality considerations for the application of TF-CBT with LGBTQ youth. 
5. Describe identified strategies for application of TF-CBT components and phases when working with LGBTQ youth and their families/caregivers.
