1	Social worker perceptions of services directed toward sexual minority youth and their families in child welfare agencies Webb, Travis James 01 January 2004 (has links) Sexual minority youth are coming out about their same-sex attractions earlier in recent years. Such youth and their families may experience a range of potential problems and concerns, suggesting that the child welfare system may need to do more to respond to the unique needs of this population.
