All Children - All Families, a project of the
Human Rights Campaign Foundation, has announced new, expanded resources for child
welfare agencies to improve practice with lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBT) clients.
All Children - All Families has
identified ten key benchmarks of LGBT cultural competency: proven best
practices in supporting and serving LGBT youth and families. Agencies that
participate in All Children - All Families work to meet each of these
benchmarks using the project's innovative resources, including an online agency
self-assessment tool, comprehensive staff training, free technical assistance
and more.
If an agency achieves all of
the benchmarks, it is recognized as a "Leader in Supporting and Serving
LGBT Youth and Families" and awarded the All Children - All Families Seal
of Recognition. This seal can be used to enhance your agency's outreach and
recruitment efforts within the LGBT community and to reassure LGBT youth and
their families of your commitment.
To learn more and participate
today, email

Started."
