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 LGBTQ Visibility and Housing in Systems of Care has been developed under a Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (2019-2021) internal review board through two pilots with foster care workers and their supervisors. The Ruth Ellis Institute surveyed over 120 participants through a pre-test\, post-test\, and three-month follow up to measure Asking About SOGIE knowledge\, attitudes\, and behaviors tied to the training content. Additionally\, these participants SOGIE data entry was followed\, baseline to six months\, to learn more about the training’s impact on behavior outcomes. Finally\, there were two sets of focus groups facilitated at the end of each pilot to hear from units of workers who entered and did not enter SOGIE data. The curriculum features content where there were statistically significant changes in participants outcomes regarding increased competency in asking about SOGIE. \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.
