This brief from the Family Acceptance Project at San Francisco State University presents groundbreaking research on how family reactions significantly impact the health and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth. The document provides families, caregivers, and providers with evidence-based guidance on both harmful behaviors to avoid and supportive behaviors to embrace. The resource emphasizes that even small changes toward greater acceptance can significantly reduce health risks and improve outcomes for LGBT youth, while also providing practical tools and resources for families from diverse ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
