Fierce Pride researched best practices for schools to reduce violence against LGBTQ students, which in turn reduces their rates of using substances including tobacco. The students wanted to tell teachers, administrators, and other adults how these policies impact them, and what happens when schools do not have these policies or do not follow them.
Model policies:
Albuquerque Public Schools Non-discrimination for Students Gender Identity and Expression Policy is a model policy for making schools safer for all students.
GLSEN’s Safe School Policies for LGBT students
Research and Data:
Center for Disease Control data on LGBTQ health and experiences with violence.
