Acting Senior Probation Director Suzanne Lyles and Liz Sanchez, Program Manager for the Young Women’s Freedom Center, presented on the department’s efforts to identify, serve, and protect LGBTQIA+ youth in detention in response to the Board motion, Care with Pride.
As part of this initiative, the department established a Gender Health Coalition that meets regularly to discuss issues impacting gender-expansive youth and implement practices that promote their safety, well-being, and support. The department has also developed a referral process to connect youth with community-based service providers while in custody and upon their return to the community. Additionally, staff training is being expanded to further address the needs of LGBTQIA+ and gender-expansive youth.
