Developed in partnership with the WSBA Juvenile Law Section
This CLE program provides attorneys and legal professionals with a comprehensive overview of the legal, social, and systemic issues impacting LGBTQIA+ youth. The training examines how child welfare, education, healthcare, juvenile justice, and other institutional systems intersect with sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression (SOGIE), and the resulting legal and ethical obligations of professionals working within those systems.
Participants will briefly review LGBTQIA+ protections related to nondiscrimination, foster care placement, education access, documentation, medical consent, and gender-affirming care. The course emphasizes the rights of youth in state care, the legal duties of agencies and advocates, and the real-world consequences of system involvement on safety, mental health, housing stability, and educational outcomes.
This training equips legal professionals with tools to identify systemic barriers, recognize discriminatory practices, and effectively advocate for affirming, lawful, and trauma-informed responses.
