Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Students:
A National Survey of School Counselors, Social Workers, and Psychologists
This provides an understanding to the dimensions and impact of LGBTQ issues in K-12 schools, and identifying the most promising avenues for an effective response. Focusing on the perspectives, preparation, and practices of school-based mental health
