    The Trevor Project’s Guide to Being an Ally to Transgender and Nonbinary Youth.

     

    COVID-RELATED:

    During the pandemic, (LGBTQ+) students in elementary and secondary schools have faced particularly heightened risks for anxiety and stress and have lost regular access to affirming student organizations and supportive peers, teachers, and school staff. These students also are at an increased risk
    of isolation and abuse from unsupportive or actively hostile family members. ed.gov pg 34
