Suicide attempts and successful suicides are more frequent occurrences in the gay, lesbian,and bisexual (GLB) population.

Moreover, few schools have programs that address the unique needs of GLB youth that could create a more receptive or tolerant, and less threatening environment for them. In this paper, Kotter’s eight-stage framework for leadership is explored for its possible contribution to advancing dialogue and action about this public health and school health issue.https://digitalcommons.unf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1102&context=fphr
