• The Family Acceptance Project (FAP) was founded more than 20 years ago to help diverse families learn to support and affirm their LGBTQ+ youth. FAP conducted the first research on LGBTQ+ youth and their families and developed the first family support model to help racially, ethnically, and religiously diverse parents and caregivers learn to support their LGBTQ+ youth to prevent health risks and promote well-being. FAP is grounded in the lived experiences of diverse families and uses a culture-based family support framework that enables parents and caregivers to change rejecting behaviors that FAP’s research has shown contribute to health risks and increase supportive and accepting behaviors that promote well-being for LGBTQ+ youth.
