LGBTQIA+ Resources

Supporting LGBTQIA+ Youth

The overall goal in caring for all youth, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, gender non-conforming, transgender, questioning, intersex or asexual (LGBTQIA) is to promote adolescent development, social and emotional well-being, physical health, and reduce any associated physical and mental health risks. Many LGBTQIA+ youth are exposed to social stigma, discrimination, prejudice and victimization during adolescence that have long-term impacts. The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners strives to be an advocate for LGBTQIA+ youth and supports equitable, accessible, evidence-based health care for patients and their families.
