Meaningful opportunities to discuss SOGIE and collect data are rare among systems of care. This workshop is based on a multi-year collaborative partnership across three systems--child welfare, juvenile justice, and homeless youth services. We want to provide other jurisdictions around the country with the opportunity to share in our lessons learned.
