Evidence-based sexuality education curricula are proven to generate positive health outcomes and encourage teens to make informed decisions about their sexual health. However, these curricula are developed through a heteronormative and cisgender framework that often leaves out the experiences of LGBTQ youth. This training examines the sexual health concerns of LGBTQ youth and provides skills for adapting existing sex education resources to be more inclusive. Priority will be given to OAH Tier 1-B grantees for this training.
