Embracing LGBTQ+ Affirming Care: Insights for Practitioners

At TinyEYE, we are committed to providing exceptional online therapy services to schools, ensuring every child receives the care they need to thrive. In our pursuit of excellence, we recognize the importance of inclusive and affirming care for all, including LGBTQ+ individuals. Recent research, "Implementation of LGBTQ+ affirming care policies in the Veterans Health Administration: preliminary findings on barriers and facilitators in the southern United States," offers valuable insights that can enhance our practice and improve outcomes for children.
