Eight Ways to Promote the Health and Well-Being of LGBTQ+ Youth Involved with Child Welfare		Alexandra Citrin and Megan Martin	The Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA)1 marks a substantial movement toward child welfare reform by beginning to bring child welfare financing into alignment with what research tells us is best for children and families. Children and youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer/questioning (LGBTQ+)2 experience both disproportionate involvement with child welfare, and once involved, disparate outcomes including placement instability and longer stays in foster care. Through FFPSA there is a significant opportunity for child welfare systems to address existing disproportionalities and disparities for LGBTQ+ children, youth and families. Successful implementation of these strategies will in turn support state efforts in achieving an equitable child welfare system with better outcomes and improved well-being for all children, youth and families.
