This training is appropriate for law enforcement, prosecuting attorneys, child protection workers, forensic interviewers, mental health professionals, medical providers, advocates, community liaisons, and youth-serving professionals that may interact with LGBTQIA+ children and youth.

Join Zero Abuse Project for a free training on serving LGBTQIA+ children and families in the child abuse multidisciplinary process. In addition to providing an overview of gender and sexuality terminology, the training will include topics such as cultural considerations when working with LGBTQIA+ children, youth and families, working with caregivers that are not supportive of LGBTQIA+ youth, preparing the team, family, and child for the process, allyship, pronouns, engaging community partners, vetting resources for LGBTQIA+ families, considerations for the forensic protocol and the use of interview aids. While considerations for the forensic interview will be discussed in this course, the primary focus of this training is on the MDT, as a whole.
