FamilyAcceptanceProj

The Family Acceptance Project™ is a research, intervention, education and policy initiative that works to decrease health and mental health risks for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) children and youth, including suicide, homelessness and HIV -- in the context of their families. We use a research-based, culturally grounded approach to help ethnically, socially and religiously diverse families to support their LGBT children.

Helping families understand how to support their LGBT children takes resources that touch the heart. We are producing a series of short documentaries that show the journey from struggle to support of ethnically and religiously diverse families with LGBT children. To view trailers for the first two films in the series, "Always My Son" and "Families Are Forever," access our other educational resources, and get more information about our project, please visit us at http://familyproject.sfsu.edu -- or at http://www.facebook.com/FamilyAcceptanceProject.
