Education for All: Addressing LGBT Issues in Schools
9:30-10:30 - Grand Ballroom
Twenty years ago Massachusetts took the lead in addressing LGBT issues in schools by setting up the first state program of its kind, Safe Schools for Gay and Lesbian Students. Yet LGBT students continue to face challenges in accessing education across the Commonwealth. This presentation will investigate those challenges and offer ideas for what counselors can do to better serve these students.
