Supporting Students Who are LGBTQ+ & Gifted

Gifted LGBTQ+ young people have complex identities and encounter unique challenges. Like all young people, these kids and teens need adults to see, hear, understand, and embrace them for who they are. When supported appropriately, we can help gifted LGBTQ+ youth find community and set them on a path toward self-actualization. In this special Pride Month session, attendees will learn what makes gifted LGBTQ+ young people unique, the challenges they often face in school and society, and how to provide nurturing environments to support healthy intellectual and social-emotional development.
