Display symbols of support for LGBTQI2-S issues within offices and public areas, such as hanging rainbow flags or pink triangles on agency walls and in windows.
Maintain confidentiality and privacy of all youth self-disclosures (particularly when youth share their LGBTQI2-S identity) to protect them from victimization, stigma, abuse, and discrimination.
