Advising any youth about life altering decisions alone is difficult to do. Even more complex is how to advise youth who are struggling with their personal identity amidst a non-supportive community. This webinar provides information for those who are searching to support LGBT+ youth by learning of the many trials LGBT+ youth may go through, the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual support a youth may need, and by attaining valuable resources for the youth, the advisor, and their congregations.
The presenter, Samantha Logan, is a transgendered young adult from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Cheyenne. She is an activist for the LGBT+ community and does weekly video blogs on her personal YouTube channels devoted to answering questions for transgendered youth and those who wish to know about transgendered people. Samantha also spends time speaking to youth at YRUU gatherings, youth cons and at colleges about the importance of understanding others to foster inclusivity and peace in local communities leading to a better conversation nationally.
