LGBT youth commit suicide at much higher rates than their straight peers. Or do they? Robin McHaelen will discuss this assumption regarding LGBT youth. This interactive presentation will focus on the risks and realities of LGBT youth experiences, explore the subsets of youth at higher or lower risks of suicide and identify protective factors and strategies participants can use to help prevent or reduce self-harm.
