"The Clinic" Short Film & Tip Sheet for Trans Inclusive Care			"The Clinic” is a short film and digital resource to highlight the need for more trans inclusive healthcare, and provide resources and tips for medical professionals seeking to make their offices and clinics more inclusive for LGBTQ+ patients. An accompanying resource to "The Clinic," these tips are just the starting points of developing a trans-affirming practice. They come from real trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people who have shared their experiences and hopes for their future medical interactions. When in doubt of how to best support your patient, do your own research and then ask them as respectfully as possible.
#TransYouthMatter Policy Toolkit		Fenway Institute	State lawmakers around the country are filing and voting for bills that seek to limit access to health care for transgender and gender diverse youth and ban these youth from participating in school sports. These bad faith bills have not been created in response to a societal problem. Rather, they are being used to advance the political right’s culture war against LGBTQIA+ people. Whether these bills are enacted into law or not, they are doing immediate and long-term harms to the health of trans youth. If you live in a state where lawmakers are pushing these bills, these #transyouthmatter resources can help raise awareness of the harm these bills can cause.		2022

20 Years of Data Shows What Works for LGBTQ Students		Paige Tutt	Twenty years ago, students weren’t bullied or harassed in schools because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. At least, that’s what many educators said when advocacy groups first began digging into the urgent problems reported by LGBTQ+ youth in America’s schools. It wasn’t true. LGBTQ+ students were regularly subjected to verbal and physical harassment, but there was no national data about their school experiences. “That was really what sparked the need,” says Dr. Joseph Kosciw, director of the GLSEN Research Institute. “There was no national evidence, and GLSEN realized we need to be able to demonstrate what’s going on across the country.” Launched in 1999, the National School Climate Survey became the largest body of research about LGBTQ+ students, providing a detailed look into topics like school climate, cultural biases, and the indelible impact of discrimination on children.

2016 RISE Project Outreach and Relationship Building Program Manual Vol. 1		Angela Weeks	The purpose of the manual is to assist others in the field in replicat- ing or adapting a key component of the RISE Project, ORB, for their local use. Replicating or adapting ESIs with fidelity to the interventions builds evidence in child welfare and expands the range of intervention effectiveness to different target populations and or- ganizational contexts. These efforts to build evidence serve several purposes, including preparing an intervention for evaluation, either during implementation or later, depending on the organizational context in which an intervention is implemented, and building a base of replicable interventions that can serve the complex needs of diverse communities of children and families. This manual does not provide details about or findings from the evaluation. The evaluation report is being published separately. The intended audience for this program manual includes potential implementers of the intervention, including child welfare administrators and staff, evaluators, and purveyors.		2016

2016 RISE Project Outreach and Relationship Building Program Manual Vol. 3			Social Work Practice for LGBTQ and Gender-Variant Youth Training Manual: Skills for reducing barriers to permanency for LGBTQ and gender-variant youth in foster care. The Outreach and Relationship Building (ORB) Team is the RISE project intervention focused on building practitioner competency to reduce barriers in caregiving settings by decreasing heterosexism, anti-gay and anti-transgender bias. The ORB curriculum consists of two trainings (LGBTQ Foundation and Social Work Practice, respectively). The LGBTQ Foundation training provides basic knowledge about terminology and concepts related to sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression; the coming out process; the impact of accepting and rejecting behaviors; the positive power of affirming environments; and the legal and professional standards guiding work with LGBTQ youth. The Social Work Practice training consists of five units and provides practitioners with opportunities to combine the knowledge acquired in the LGBTQ Foundation training with common practice skills, such as active listening, motivational interviewing, assessing environments, and responding to specific instances of biases. Participants must attend the LGBTQ Foundation training prior to attending the Social Work Practice training. Each training is 3-3.5 hours in length.

The training is 90 minutes in length and includes the following learning objectives and intended outcomes:
2016 RISE Project: The Care Coordination Team (CCT) Program Manual		Wilson et al	This program manual provides detailed information about the implementation process of the LA LGBT Center’s Permanency Innovation Initiative—Recognize, Intervene, Support, and Empower (RISE). RISE aims to improve permanency for LGBTQ+ children and youth in the foster care system by reducing heterosexism and anti-gay and anti-transgender bias and increasing support for their LGBTQ+ identity. The purpose of the manual is to assist others in the field in replicating or adapting a key component of the RISE Project, the CCT, for their local use. Replicating or adapting ESIs with fidelity to the interventions builds evidence in child welfare and expands the range of intervention effectiveness to different target populations and or­ ganizational contexts. These efforts to build evidence serve several purposes, including preparing an inter­vention for evaluation (either during implementation or later, depending on the organizational context in which an intervention is implemented) and building a base of replicable interventions that can serve the complex needs of diverse communities of children and families. The intended audiences for this program manual are potential implementers of the intervention, including child welfare administrators and staff, evaluators, and purveyors.		2016
