I am wondering if
you know of any good journal articles, web sites, books about running and
developing homosexual groups for high school students....I would greatly
appreciate any advice or suggestions...I need to develop 8 lesson plans
and various activities for a gay/lesbian group ...Thank you
It is part of the website
for association of gay lesbian . . . counselors. Some of the resources
are sort of old, but should get you started.
One other thing to
remember is that gay/lesbian youth are also interested in the same issues
that interest all youth. Those young people are more like than unlike
their heterosexual peers. Your group may provide a safe environment for
them to discuss/explore adolescent issues of acceptance, conformity, planning
for the future, dealing with rejection, managing anger, getting along with
family members, managing risky behaviors, etc.
Another suggestion
is to contact the campus gay/lesbian organizations for tips and topics.
Good luck with your
project.
Can you help me find a curriculum to
follow to set up a group guidance program for homosexuals and lesbians
for teens?
One source of information is http://www.aglbic.org

I haven't run into a ready-made curriculum
myself. Perhaps you could put one together with some local help --
that would help reduce community flak. Good luck.
