Two hundred people are expected to attend a conference in Honolulu today focused on improving services for Hawaii’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth.

The LGBT Youth Safety Net Conference, sponsored by the state Department of Health, will take place from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Japanese Cultural Center of Honolulu in Moiliili.

It will provide people working in social service, health, education and juvenile justice with information about providing services to LGBT clients, many of whom are at risk for drug and alcohol abuse or becoming suicidal, the state said in a news release.
