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.
