Pacific
Pride Foundation offers Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
Sensitivity Training for the Santa Barbara County Social
Services Youth Foster Care System.
A higher
percentage of gay youth are in the foster care system than are
represented in the general population, and therefore,
educational training is offered to ensure their welfare and
appropriate treatment as they navigate along an already
socially challenging path, regardless of family life or
situations.
Our
training includes raising awareness of the needs of LGBT
youth, the “Coming Out” process, dating and relationships,
living in a homo/bi/trans –phobic and heterosexist culture,
and addressing bias in the foster care system.
For more information regarding our
programming for Foster Care please ontact our Director of
Counseling & Recovery Programs,
