getREAL (Recognize. Engage. Affirm. Love.) was launched in 2012 to transform child welfare and promote the healthy development of LGBTQ+ and gender expansive children and youth. We owe all youth this, and to achieve this we must reimagine policies and programs in ways that center and support gender expansive and LGBTQ+ children, youth, their families and communities. In June 2024, CSSP President and CEO Leonard Burton joined Senior Fellow Bill Bettencourt for conversation about how and why we need to show up for LGBTQ+ youth. As part of their conversation, they highlighted the groundbreaking getREAL initiative--both its past and future, discussed why we need Pride all year long, and called for critical supports and a focus on community to ensure our young people can grow into healthy adults, loved, and respected for all that they are. We invite you to listen to this important conversation here: https://loom.ly/KGLOVcM #getreal #economicjustice #healthjustice #familyautonomy #racialjustice #familysupport #family #mentalhealth #community #familylove #parentingsupport #communitysupport #mentalhealthawareness #youthlgbt #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtyouth #lgbtqia #lgbtinformation #lgbtqinformation #lgbtqrepresentation #lgbtqresources #lgbtcommunity #pridemonth #lgbtplaces #youth

Loved seeing CSSP Senior Policy Analyst Elisa Minoff along with Ashley Burnside (Center for Law and Social Policy), Tresa Kappil (Abt Global), and Brayan Lee Rosa Rodriguez (Instituto del Desarrollo de la Juventud) speaking on unconditional cash transfer studies centering parents' and caregivers' lived experiences at the Prosperity Now Prosperity Summit 2024. We know from data that cash aids meet families' needs while affirming their dignity--and sharing these stories is crucial in letting policymakers know just how important cash benefits are. #ProsperitySummit2024 #ProsperityNow #CashAssistance #SupportCaregivers #UnrestrictedCashAid #CTC

🚨As a nation, we are failing transgender, nonbinary, and gender diverse (TNGD) youth, who call for community services that promote family health, increase acceptance, and keep youth from entering child welfare, juvenile legal, and homelessness systems. The newly released report, Safe Havens II, underscores the importance of accountability to ensure the safety and well-being of TNGD youth by centering the voices of seven TNGD youth contributors with lived experience in out-of-home systems. Created by Lambda Legal, Unicorn Solutions, Children's Rights, and the Center for the Study of Social Policy, this report serves as a crucial roadmap for policymakers and allies, features data on current policy and challenges for TNGD youth in out-of-home systems, as well as the experiences of and solutions from our youth contributors. We can all play a role in advocating for accountability, affirmation, and support.
