Abstract | This booklet discusses issues facing sexual minority students. An introduction presents the National Association of School Psychologists' (NASP's) position statement on gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth. Section 1 highlights: "Violence, Homophobia, and Prejudice" (e.g., anti-gay harassment in schools documented, violence prevention, and a guide for schools); "School/Psychological Issues, Suicide, and Health" (e.g., the impact of hate crime victimization, young gay males at higher suicide risk, and a bill of rights for lesbian and gay students); "Coming Out" (coming out young, landmark survey shows gay youth coming out earlier than ever, and coming out can reduce sexual prejudice); and "Sexual Minority Teachers and Staff" (extra help for homosexual teachers, lesbian teacher can proceed with harassment suit, and tips to help teachers come out). Section 2 examines interventions for assisting sexual minority students, including "Working With and Understanding the Needs of Sexual Minority Students" (NASP position statement on homosexual students' needs and improving the school experience); "School Policy and Educational Issues" (tips for administrators and treating all students equally); and "School Programs and Gay-Straight Alliances" (e.g., gay-straight clubs formed by public school students and a student guide to gay-straight alliances). (Contains 69 references.) (SM) |
