Abstract

Abstract School psychologists have a professional and ethical obligation to advocate for and support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ+) students. Drawing on a minority stress framework, this article highlights empirically supported school-wide practices and direct student services that enhance outcomes for LGBTQ+ students and promote positive coping and resiliency. Additionally, school psychologists’ role in advocating for and with LGBTQ+ students is emphasized, along with reputable resources that advance the recommended empirically supported practices.
