I'm (again) passing along this free training available to all educators, counselors, administrators, mental health and health professionals. Family Acceptance Project is research based and a highly regarded organization.

Learn how to make a real impact on the lives of LGBTQ youth, including suicidal behavior and substance use. There are multiple date options for the trainings. The registration form asks for the number of your TSPC license.

Please share this widely with your TTSD colleagues!

Family Acceptance Project

FAP

Critical research from the Family Acceptance Project® (FAP) has shown that family rejection contributes to health risks for LGBTQ youth, including suicidal behavior and substance use, while even small changes in family acceptance help promote health and well-being. This virtual training will introduce educators to effective ways to support youth ­and families. Multiple dates available.
