Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) individuals are perhaps one of the most vulnerable populations in the United States today. Aside from the typical developmental hurdles of “adult-olescence,” LGBT students often face such psychosocial challenges as isolation, stigma, familial and societal rejection as well as physical, emotional, and sexual violence. This workshop will explore the varying societal levels of response to LGBT victims of sexual and relationship violence and the responsibility that colleges must play to serve and advocate on behalf of this population.
