This practice brief was developed for families, caretakers, advocates, and providers to:  

  • Provide basic information to help families support their lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) children;  
  • Share some of the critical new research from the Family Acceptance Project (FAP) at San Francisco State University. This important new research shows that families have a major impact on their LGBT children’s health, mental health, and well-being; and  
  • Give families and LGBT youth hope that ethnically, religiously, and socially diverse families, parents, and caregivers can become more supportive of their LGBT children. [Summary from resource.]
