The Family Acceptance Project (FAP) has launched a free online family support program for LGBTQ+ youth of color, ages 14-25, and their caregivers who are struggling with their youths’ LGBTQ+ identity.
This program is an online version of the Family Acceptance Project’s family support model to decrease family rejection and related health risks and to increase family support and well-being for LGBTQ+ youth.
Information about FAP’s online program:
This program includes both separate and shared sessions for caregivers and LGBTQ+ youth
The research that supports FAP's family support model is participatory, meaning racially, culturally, and religiously diverse families and LGBTQ youth helped to develop FAP’s model
LGBTQ+ youth can earn up to $240 and caregivers can earn up to $260 for participating in the program which is approved by the University of Michigan IRB
