Please check with your local accrediting body for reciprocity. \nThis training introduces participants to the Family Acceptance Project’s research\, which highlights the correlation between caregiver behaviors toward LGBT youth and future health and safety outcomes. Additionally\, participants will learn about family preservation and the Ruth Ellis Center’s approach to working with families of LGBTQ+ youth. \nThis training series is interactive\, and participants are asked to be on camera and able to interact with other participants through video\, audio\, and chat periodically. While this is an expectation of the training\, we understand that there can be barriers to this type of involvement. Reach out to the trainers ahead of time at for more information or accommodations. \nObjectives\n\nConnect participants’ work and sense of purpose to the training material: Building safety for youth and families\nWhy we are covering the material we are (statistics\, evidence-based practices\, stories)\nExamining family work in this context\nLearning how we do the work (language and tools)\nSharing different perspectives from our personal lens which affect our professional work\nGoing forward: Resources and the referral process\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nProfessionals who work with children\, youth\, young adults\, and/or families who have previous introductory knowledge on sexual orientation\, gender identity\, and expression\nParticipants can be individuals who directly with others or be involved in supervision\, management\, and leadership\nPeople involved in Family Preservation work would especially benefit from this training\, but the content is applicable in many areas of work (case managers\, social workers\, foster parents\, case supervisors\, program staff\, program managers\, program directors\, quality assurance)\n\nCourses in this Series\nSOGIE 101\nTuesday\, May 23 from 1-4 p.m. ET \nLGBTQ Visibility and Housing in Systems of Care\nWednesday\, May 24 from 1-4 p.m. ET \nFamily Support with LGBTQ Children\nThursday\, May 25 from 1-4 p.m. ET \nGender Affirming Care\nFriday\, May 26 from 1-4 p.m. ET \nAbout the Training Series\nRuth Ellis Institute has developed the following training content through researching how adult practitioners\, government health and human service employees\, and staff at community-based organizations leverage their existing experience to integrate more affirming practices for lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth. \nThe development of this curriculum is embedded within a LGBTQ-specific direct service organization\, ensuring that on-the-ground implementation is informing training content. Ruth Ellis’ model connects: \n\nYouth and their families lived experience\nDirect practice\nResearch and evaluation\nCoaching and consulting\nPolicy and regulations\n\nContent in Family Support with LGBTQ Children has been developed under two internal review boards\, Wayne State University (2015-2017)\, and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (2018-2021). The Ruth Ellis Institute surveyed over 600 participants through a pre-test\, post-test\, and three-month follow up to measure SOGIE knowledge\, attitudes\, and behaviors. The curriculum features content where there were statistically significant changes in participants outcomes regarding increases in support toward LGBTQ youth. These two courses are recommended for professionals who have not previously attended a SOGIE and/or LGBTQ youth training. \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n Trainers\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Angelika Lewis (she/her/hers)\n \n Education and Evaluation Coordinator\nRuth Ellis Center \n \n Biography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Angelika Lewis (she/her/hers)\n Education and Evaluation Coordinator\nRuth Ellis Center \n \n As a coordinator and facilitator Angelika Lewis enjoys collaborating with community\, bridging the gap between lived experience and policy\, and creating safe learning environments.
