Critical Stats: Vermont’s LGBTQ+ Youth provides you with important information concerning the well-being of LGBTQ+ youth. In Vermont, the Department of Health works with the Agency of Education and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to administer the Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), which is part of a national school-based surveillance system conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
You’re likely reading this because a young person close to you has come out to you as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, or Gender Expansive (LGBTQ+). Coming out to you is an incredible expression of trust from that young person, and we are so glad you are in their life.
This resource could support you in beginning to process your own emotions about your child’s identity and give you tools for navigating feelings that may be surprising or hard. This toolkit was designed to offer you best practices, supportive resources, and an introduction to a community of affirming parents and caregivers who share a piece of this story.
These FREE Zines and Toolkits are widely shareable resources to help everyone understand their role in supporting LGBTQ+ youth liberation.
