Kids are coming out as LGBTQ+ younger than ever, making their identities more politicized than ever before. Hateful political rhetoric and discriminatory laws are likely contributing to the poor mental health documented among LGBTQ+ kids.

In an effort to combat these struggles, researchers are studying what works to keep kids healthy, happy, and alive. In this episode, we discuss data around what may help prevent suicidality among Black trans youth, and we hear about a program helping parents learn how to support their LGBTQ+ kids by changing their own behavior.

GUESTS:

Flomichelle Battles, Interim Executive Director of Trans Solutions Research and Resource Center.
