LGBTQ Youth in Foster Care Face Extra Challenges

[http://content.delivra.com/etapcontent/NationalCouncilonCrimeDe/SDM%20Newsletter%20template/2017/Berg.jpg]As National Foster Care Month<http://tracking.etapestry.com/t/33451359/1236193179/70681221/0/64819/?x=e0774a85> wraps up, we highlight here an often unseen and underserved population within the foster care system: LGBTQ youth. Studies suggest that LGBTQ youth are overrepresented in foster care, and system-involved LGBTQ youth report worse treatment while in foster care than their non-LGBTQ peers. They experience more placement disruption and a higher incidence of homelessness—often due to rejection by their families of origin and/or foster families after revealing their LGBTQ status. Once homeless, these youth face a host of difficulties.

Author Ryan Berg received a 2016 NCCD Media for a Just Society Award<http://tracking.etapestry.com/t/33451359/1236193179/73886114/0/64819/?x=a2bfe37e> for bringing the stories of eight such youth to light in his debut book, No House to Call My Home: Love, Family, and Other Transgressions<http://tracking.etapestry.com/t/33451359/1236193179/73886115/0/64819/?x=c106da24>. Now a youth worker in Minneapolis, Minn., Berg gleaned these stories while serving as a caseworker in a New York City group home for LGBTQ youth. The book is a highly recommended read for anyone who works with and cares about system-involved youth. You can also follow Berg on Twitter at @RyJBerg<http://tracking.etapestry.com/t/33451359/1236193179/73886116/0/64819/?x=b530155c>.

Spotlight on Foster Care
May is National Foster Care Month<http://bit.ly/2p5mIdL>—a time to focus on enhancing the lives of children and youth in foster care. During this month, the Capacity Building Center for States (the Center) acknowledges child welfare professionals, foster parents, family members, and other foster care partners for helping children and youth in foster care find permanent homes and connections.
Facts and Statistics
Currently there are more than 400,000 children and youth in foster care.[1]
Of those children and youth, 51% have been in foster care for more than a year.[2]
he longer a child or youth spends in foster care, the more likely they are to experience multiple placement settings.[3]
Services and Resources
Children and youth in foster care often have needs that present challenges for caregivers who may not feel adequately prepared to address those needs. With sufficient support from agencies, caregivers are better equipped to meet the needs of children and youth and provide placement stability and permanency for them.
The Center provides resources designed to help agencies improve outcomes for children and youth in foster care<https://capacity.childwelfare.gov/states/focus-areas/foster-care-permanency/?utm_source=may22&utm_campaign=nfcm&utm_medium=spotlight&utm_content=fc>, including resources to achieve placement stability, empower caregivers, strengthen families, and promote child and youth well-being.

Retroactivity:
Are Convictions Ever Final?

Professor Yin's Bio<http://law.lclark.edu/live/profiles/271-tung-yin?mc_cid=985eb83a66&mc_eid=78dc02b634>

When the United States Supreme Court issues a decision―such as Miranda v. Arizona―announcing a new rule of law and overturning a criminal defendant's conviction, did that rule apply retroactively, calling into question the conviction of all other prisoners whose convictions were flawed by the same constitutional violation? Surprisingly, the Supreme Court didn't start to address retroactivity until the 1960s. Despite seeming to settle the issue in Teague v. Lane in 1989, the Court issued more retroactivity decisions, and even Congress got involved with the issue in the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. This program will provide an overview of this area of law and discuss how lower courts resolve the issue of retroactivity. Understanding this complex area of law can inform effective victims' rights advocacy.

Culturally Appropriate
Aging Care for Latinos

The 2017 Latino Health Equity Conference will continue the theme of examining the unique health issues faced by Latino immigrant communities in the United States focusing specifically on aging. Latino elders and their family members draw upon cultural strengths including the importance of spirituality and family that can serve as resilience factors. However, elderly Latino immigrants face many obstacles that affect their overall health. There are cultural and systemic barriers in health care, disparities in chronic disease management, limited access to culturally appropriate community resources for eldercare and limited access to palliative and hospice care.
