The federal government recently ended its specialized suicide prevention hotline for LGBTQ+ youth. Previously, callers could press 3 when they called the national suicide and crisis lifeline to be connected with counselors who were specifically traines to help queer youth. Now, all calls will be directed to the general 988 hotline.    Lines for Life operates several crisis hotlines in Oregon, including a dedicated YouthLine. It also answers the majority of 988 calls made in the state. Greg Borders, the organization’s chief clinical officer, joins us to talk about the suicide prevention resources still available to LGBTQ+ communities.   If you or someone you know is struggling, you can call or text 988 to reach the national suicide and crisis lifeline. Help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In this episode I provide statistics on college student suicide and mental health, discuss risk factors and warning signs of suicide specific to the college student population, as well as protective factors. I discuss ways college campuses can support students who are suicidal, as well as discuss prevention, intervention, and postvention efforts on college campuses.

An increasing number of states are enacting policies hostile to LGBTQ youth, like book bans and restrictions on participation in sports. Even in states like New York where there is greater state-level support for LGBTQ rights, similar policies aimed at stifling those rights have emerged at the local level. Amy Leipziger (Project Director, Free to Be Youth Project), Ashton Hessee (Legal Fellow, Free to Be Youth Project) and Gabriella Larios (Staff Attorney, NYCLU) of the City Bar's LGBTQ Rights Committee unpack the damage to psychological and physical health that these bans and the anti-LGBTQ culture that they promote can have on LGBTQ youth – kids who are navigating the same developmental challenges as their peers while being saddled with these additional burdens. Amy, Ashton and Gabriella also speak to how queer and trans youth – and their parents and caregivers – can understand their rights and understand how to advocate for their rights in school. All three share stories from the frontlines of litigating against these bans, and share insights on the most effective strategies for pairing litigation with grassroots community organizing.

How can educators create inclusive environments for LGBTQ+ youth? To explore this question, Brett speaks to a veteran middle school social studies teacher in Massachusetts, Marc Lewis, who has been enacting and experimenting with strategies and curricula to help all of his students feel welcome in his classroom – and to help them understand the complexity and truth of our world and its history. In our conversation, Marc describes how he builds a trusting classroom community, how he physically designs his classroom, how he integrates LGBTQ+ history into his curriculum, how he shares his own identity as an openly gay man, and how he has responded to challenges related to these practices. Marc also describes a variety of resources (links below) that listeners can check out if they want to learn more about this type of work.Marc Lewis holds a master's degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has taught social studies at R.J. Grey Junior High School in Acton, Massachusetts, for over twenty years.To support this show, please subscribe, give it five stars in your podcast app, and share an episode with a friend!

This week, we learn about why LGBTQ+ youth homelessness is so prominent. We also discuss the physical and mental tolls that shelter life and living on the streets take on our queer youth, and then we highlight organizations that are taking matters into their hands to curb this epidemic.

Carl Siciliano is the Founder of the Ali Forney Center, which he built up to become the nation's largest organization providing housing to LGBTQ youth. He is also the author of Making Room: Three Decades of Fighting for Beds, Belonging, and a Safe Place for LGBTQ Youth. In his youth, Carl spent several years living with and serving unhoused people as part of the radical Catholic Worker Movement and spent eight months living in Benedictine monasteries. My brief backstory with Carl is that I worked for the Ali Forney Center for the bulk of my time living in NYC where I served as their director of special events and got to see the org grow very quickly. I love the Ali Forney Center and all the folks connected to it- especially the people it serves, and reading Carl's new book gave me a deeper perspective about the importance of this work. We start by talking about Ali Forney, a homeless queer youth who is the namesake and inspiration behind the Ali Forney Center, and we talk about what was so profoundly impactful about that relationship for Carl.  Carl speaks of his admiration of Ali's and their ability to own a relationship with God, describing this as the conscious divinity of Ali. We look at what it was like to bring awareness of the plight of homeless LGBTQ youth by initiating rallies and other forms of activism, and this was a transformational moment of the consciousness of the LGBTQ community (and beyond) in New York.  Next, we dicuss the spiritual significance of supporting our most disenfranchised community members. And then we look at how Carl has contended with the hypocrisy of some religious leaders essentially doing the opposite of God's work by creating more division rather than unity. In addition to looking at the shadow side of religions, Carl also makes a passionate case for what queer Catholicism can look like and how it can be experienced (leaving me wanting to attend mass..!). All these and many more topics in this very personal and inspiring interview. Learn more about the Ali Forney Center-https://www.aliforneycenter.org/Check out Carl's new book-https://www.amazon.com/Making-Room-Decades-Fighting-Belonging/dp/0593444248Connect with Wil-https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/work-with-wilSupport the Show.

“I think it's always the goal is always to get to somebody's heart. Like what do you believe about yourself and God?”This is the question that Kyla is helping youth workers focus on as we connect with all of our students, including those that identify in the LGBTQ+ community. In light of that, Kyla recommends these three lead in questions that help us understand our students better:Would you share your story with me?Tell me more about your identity… What does that mean for you?We want you here – what could we do to help make you feel that truth?If you haven't met Kyla yet, she introduces herself on her website by saying, “Hi, I'm Kyla.
