Mental Health Practice with LGBTQ+ Children, Adolescents, and Emerging Adults in Multiple Systems of Care is a long-needed addition to the burgeoning field of affirmative mental health practice with LGBTQ+ individuals. Many of the complex systems that LGBTQ+ youth, their families, and their providers must navigate are still improving LGBTQ+ cultural competency. Practitioners, organizations, and agencies across disciplines will benefit greatly from this accessible yet nuanced view of the needs of LGBTQ+ youth across systems of care.
