Abstract

It is 2012. Derek is a sophomore at Brighton High School, and his caseworker is concerned that he has no consistent, positive adult presence in his life. Furthering her concern is a lack of support surrounding Derek’s questions about his LGBTQ+ identity. She calls Silver Lining Mentoring because she knows they will understand Derek’s needs, even if she, doesn’t.
