Documentary: Foster Care’s Invincible Youth
There are approximately 400,000 youth in foster care in the United States. A disproportionate number of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) children end up in the system, though an exact count is unknown. This month on IN THE LIFE, seven LGBTQ youth from the foster care system share their stories. Failed by their families, these young people go on to face rejection from foster families, invisibility within the system and incredible obstacles to healthy development.

| WHAT: | Gender Inclusive Language for Courts |
| WHEN: | Recording |
| REGISTER: | Recorded on 3/15/2023 |
| BLURB: | How can courts be thoughtful in their approach to using gender-inclusive language in their communications, forms, and proceedings? The legal profession has long valued grammatical precision and celebrates the wordsmithing ability of its field. One way that courts and legal practitioners can be more precise is by using the correct gender of an individual. Gender inclusivity is not a new concept for the courts; however, it is time to expand that work past the binary. This NCSC webinar teaches about gender-inclusive language and how courts can use it in. View upcoming webinars and watch search past webinars by topic at ncsc.org/webinars.
