Summary of services  provided by The Family Acceptance Project: 

The project was designed to help families with resources and strategies on how to support their LGBTQ children's wellbeing. The followings are the main objectives of the project;

1. Study parents’, families' and caregivers’ reactions and adjustment to an adolescent's coming out and LGBTQ identity.

2. Develop research-based education, training, and assessment materials for health, mental health, and school-based providers, child welfare, juvenile justice, family service workers, clergy and religious leaders, parents, and caregivers on helping diverse families learn to support their LGBTQ children.

3. Develop resources to strengthen families to support LGBTQ children and adolescents.

4. Develop a new model of family-related care to prevent health and mental health risks, keep families together, and promote permanency and well-being for LGBTQ children and adolescents. Findings are being used to inform policy and practice and to change the way that systems of care address the needs of LGBTQ children and adolescents. (https://familyproject.sfsu.edu/)

Values Of The Family Acceptance Project : Is a program that works to change how LGBTQ children and youth are nurtured, cared for, and served across disciplines and systems of care. However, the project training assessments and research depend on volunteers and donations to make the best use of their limited resources. without individual and /or organizational contribution the program cannot serve families of LGBTQ children.
