This presentation will provide helpful tips on working with families and other caregivers of LGBTQ+ youth. Some families may struggle to understand their child or youth's sexual orientation or gender identity. Some may fear rejection from their own communities or fear what the future may hold for their family. During this session, attendees will hear about the importance of family support, strategies for helping families process their feelings, and promising programs that are making strides toward creating evidence-based programs for families of LGBTQ+ youth. The presentation is hosted by The Institute's Center of Excellence on LGBTQ+ Behavioral Health Equity.
