Best Practices in Serving LGBT Refugees

On Thursday, September 17, 2015, from 3:00 to 4:00pm EDT, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) hosted the webinar, "Best Practices in Serving LGBT Refugees." LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) refugees resettled in the U.S. share a story of resilience with all refugees. Yet, as sexual and gender minorities, they often face additional challenges that are unique to their resettlement experience. This webinar highlighted what resettlement agencies are doing to support LGBT refugees, including LGBT children. We discussed how to ensure LGBT refugees are made to feel welcome and other topics specific to the LGBT resettlement experience.
