Many LGTBQ youth struggle to be included in schools and have their emotional needs appropriately met. As a result, their identity and overall self-concept suffer due to unsafe school environments, poor peer relationships, and poor engagement within the school. Schools need to address these concerns and provide safe and inclusive environments that support the emotional well-being of LGTBQ students. Without these supports, students will likely continue to become disconnected and disengaged from their education due to adverse experiences that are common to many LGTBQ youth.
