This resource is designed to help Education Abroad professionals prepare students who identify as LGBTQ+ for their education abroad endeavor. It touches on LGBTQ+ terminology, things to consider when advising students, how to have sensitive conversations, how to collaborate with colleagues, how to direct students to resources on campus, and challenges that LGBTQ+ students may face when studying abroad. In addition to that, the authors have compiled a list of other resources for education abroad professionals to use, including articles and stories from LGBTQ+ students who have studied abroad, scholarships available to LGBTQ+ students, and other advising resources.
