TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Concrete strategies for sensitizing youth-serving agencies to the needs of gay, lesbian, and other sexual minority youths JO - Child welfare A1 - Phillips, S. A1 - Sparks, J. A1 - McMillen, C. A1 - Ueberle, M. SP - 393 EP - 409 VL - 76 IS - 3 N2 - In the past few years, several authors have detailed the needs of gay and lesbian youths and the obstacles youth-serving agencies face in addressing their needs. How administrators and practitioners can make changes in agencies that are not adequately serving sexual minority youths has been unclear. This article uses the experiences of two youth-serving agencies to offer recommendations on agency philosophies concerning the social realities of sexual minority youths and on several ways of creating a safe, welcoming, and productive environment.
