[Shout out to the folks at the Transgender Response Team in Baltimore for passing this info along!]
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has made a series of brief videos available for youth-serving organizations, intended to assist providers in building their capacity to serve LGBTQI2-S (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, and two-spirt) youth. The collection is titled "Larkin Street Stories", and all videos are shot at Larkin Street (a homeless drop-in center in San Francisco) using real agency staff and clients.
The third installment is "Neither/Nor: Working with Transgender Youth".
Description: In Episode 3 of Larkin Street Stories, Toby coaches a transgender youth who is preparing for an important job interview. During staff meeting, Larkin Street staff members discuss the importance of never making assumptions about a youth's identity and allowing youth to self-identify. Loch shares Larkin Street's approach to creating an intake form that is inclusive of all identities.
