Director of Law & Policy at @TrevorProject, doing a little every day to save young lives and try to leave the world a little better. Opinions are mine alone.
Hello Twitter! This is my new "professional" account so folks from my advocacy life can stop tagging @Kalenedral14. Here you'll find lots of #LGBTQ with an emphasis on #youth, mental health, bipartisan support for #equality, and reconciling #faith/religion. All thoughts are mine.
I'm excited to be part of this strong cohort of #tech experts engaging the students and faculty at @McCourtSchool this semester to address online safety, #mentalhealth, and #LGBTQ youth.
McCourt is thrilled to welcome the Spring 2025 Tech & Public Policy program visiting fellows @GabeNicholas, @CaseyJPick and Aya Ibrahim! Get to know them here: https://t.co/wduvDK6CYI
📣OP-ED: Republican pollster @alexlundry highlights Centerline Liberties’ recent poll that underscores American’s alignment on issues such as mental and maternal health. In @thecentersquare op-ed Alex urges candidates to prioritize these issues that have broad bipartisan support in the upcoming election. https://t.co/UiArFnXDwb
No matter what is said tonight, remember:
✔️Gender-affirming care is best practice care.
✔️Trans youth deserve access to safe and affirming education.
✔️No one deserves to be discriminated against for who they are or who they love.
We are here to stay. 🌈🏳️⚧️
I so appreciate @Tim_Walz calling out the work he and Kamala have done to protect #LGBTQ young people from suicide, conversion therapy, book bans - he knows from experience what it means to make schools a safe and affirming place for all students. It saves lives.
I’m honored to join @HRC – which has done so much to advance the cause of equality and freedom – to talk about how Kamala Harris and I are proud to be partners in this fight. Watch now. https://t.co/IS3y1mmm5T
How might policies that limit youth access to social media impact marginalized groups such as LGBTQ+ teens? From our Technology and Youth Mental Health series, @YukiKotani of the Child Mind Institute and @CaseyJPick of the Trevor Project discuss.

We all have a role to play in creating accepting and affirming spaces for LGBTQI+ youth to feel physically and emotionally safe. For youth-informed ways to cultivate environments in which LGBTQI+ young people thrive, visit @TrevorProject: https://t.co/c29phbyYRz
Driving home through the woods on winding VA roads after @samhsagov's symposium on youth mental health seemed the perfect time to catch up on @oldgodspod - and it was, with the bonus of a moment of heart-warming in between the bone-chilling when they called out @TrevorProject! TY
Conversion therapists have gone from discussing “creating ex-gays to talking about ex-trans,” says @CaseyJPick. We went to their conference to witness it firsthand. https://t.co/no34DY8fwu
From one of today's recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom: Greg Boyle, SJ, on LGBTQ people: "Our LGBTQ sisters and brothers are 'unshakably good'."

And that’s a wrap on day one of our 2024 Summit on Education!
We will leave you with a little bit of hope and joy from @CaseyJPick from @TrevorProject:
In the conversation about protecting the #mentalhealth of our young people, nothing is more important than making sure school is a place they feel safe and that they belong, accepted for all of who they are. Honored to be able to share the stage at @amprog today!
We're excited to announce that Casey Pick @CaseyJPick will be joining the conversation during the CAP Summit on Education.

Especially with the manufactured, bad-faith sturm and drang today from some quarters about #TransDayOfVisibility landing on #Easter this year, I offer you the powerful, beautiful poetry of a #trans Christian. Who, I ask you, knows and shows the heart of Jesus today?
