Lunchtime Seminar - Supporting LGBTQ+ children and young people

About this seminar

Prosessor Gary Mallon was the first child welfare professional in the U.S. to research, write about, and develop programs for LGBTQ+ youth in child welfare settings.  He has also written extensively about LGBTQ+ foster and adoptive parenting.  Dr Danielle Mackle is a lecturer in social work at Queen’s University Belfast and has been working with and conducting research on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community in Northern Ireland for over 10 years.
