Abstract
Stigmatization of the lesbian and gay adolescent and their lack of access to appropriate Residential Treatment settings has evolved from decades of fear, misinformation, and the mistaken belief that this population of youngsters should be able to fit into the existing youth services systems. Planning for the gay and lesbian adolescent in care presents unique challenges for Residential Treatment agencies. Education and training of staff, board members and other residents about issues pertaining to gay and lesbian adolescents and encouraging them to examine thew own responses to homosexual orientation, can enhance opportunities for identifying, addressing, and serving the needs of this client group.
