Abstract

This guide is intended to equip professionals with basic knowledge about LGBTQIA2S+ identities, how those identities may affect the needs of children and families, and how multidisciplinary teams can adapt their processes and practices to better support those needs. The guide is non-exhaustive, and best practices evolve—professionals should examine and update their knowledge and understanding of LGBTQIA2S+ culture on an ongoing basis.
