Learn about complementary frameworks of anti-violence advocacy that focus on anti-oppression, harm reduction, trauma informed care, positive youth development and transformative justice best-practices to support LGBTQ youth.
Explore their own understandings of the typical pathologies placed on LGBTQ youth, often as ways to deny or minimize the trauma and abuse LGBTQ youth face.
