Abstract	Given the critical role school mental health professionals play in the academic and emotional well-being of our nation's students and the relative lack of national research examining the efforts of counselors, psychologists, and social workers to support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) students and create safer school environments, the authors undertook the Supporting Safe and Healthy Schools study to provide a detailed examination of school mental health providers' perspectives and experiences regarding their support of LGBTQ students. The report examines: (1) Perspectives on school climate, including school safety and the frequency of bullying and harassment facing LGBTQ students; (2) Graduate education and training on general issues regarding school safety, and their specific exposure to LGBTQ-related competency training; (3) Ongoing continuing education experiences regarding the safety and well-being of LGBTQ students; (4) Attitudes and beliefs related to LGBTQ issues in schools; (5) Self-efficacy regarding LGBTQ-related practices, i.e., their confidence in their abilities to engage in important tasks to support LGBTQ students; and (6) Specific efforts to support LGBTQ students, both direct, individual interventions, and school-level efforts to improve school climate and safety.
