Substance Use in the LGBTQIA+ Community: Preventing Addiction and Harm

The risk of developing substance use disorder is more than twice as likely
for LGBTQIA+ teens than the general population. Understanding the
unique challenges queer kids face and helping them avoid problems with
drugs is critical for parents, caregivers, and concerned allies. This training
offers specific actions we can take to support LGBTQIA+ kids, prevent
harm, and mitigate the risk of addiction.

Objectives

​1. Understanding the unique challenges students who identify as queer face

2. Education around what and why youth in this community are using

3. Why language matters when communicating with youth

4. Strengths to build on

5. Resources available that focus on helping this community feel safe

6. How to be proactive and prevent harm
​
7. What is harm reduction
