Presenter: Terry Friedrichs, PhD, EdD

Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (GLBTQ) youth experience much higher-than-average rates of verbal and physical harassment, parental rejection, and suicide. However, these students also have great potential for academic success, as seen by their disproportionately-high representation in programs for the gifted. 

This session explains how parents, siblings, and teachers can build on these students’ potential and can diminish the effect of others’ harm.

Registration required, $40 fee which includes access to recorded SENGinar.
