The Southeast MHTTC hosted a two-part webinar series in March 2021 to provide an overview of the school experiences of LGBTQ+ secondary school students (part 1) and an overview of practices and policies that can improve the school experiences of LGBTQ+ students (part 2). 

In this series, leaders from GLSEN including, Nhan Truong, Aaron Ridings, and a.t. furuya, presented on: 1) basic terminology for LGBTQ+ youth; 2) research on LGBTQ+ students’ school experiences nationally and in the Southeast; 3) practices and policies that can improve the school experiences of LGBTQ+ students; and 4) how LGBTQ+ youth experiences help inform the work of GLSEN’s Education Youth Programs. LGBTQ+ youth from GLSEN’s National School Council spoke about their school experiences and the challenges they face, as well as how their school's changes and supports would benefit them.
