Cultural humility - LGBTQ+

Applying family acceptance project strategies

Family support is more critical than ever! The Family Acceptance Project® (FAP) is providing a special workshop as a follow up to earlier training, to explore key issues with LGBTQ+ youth and families. These include: engaging families to support their LGBTQ+ children; helping caregivers to talk with LGBTQ+ youth about their identity; dealing with disinformation in the extended family and cultural community; increasing safety and support for LGBTQ+ youth and families experiencing distress; and addressing increased trauma as a result of environmental stress. This 3-hour training will include community resource sharing, interactive activities, and time to process emerging needs and issues with clients.

Learning objectives:

  • Identify 2 Family Acceptance Project® resources to help diverse families to decrease family rejection and health risks, and to increase family acceptance and well-being for LGBTQ children and youth
  • Identify 2 best practices that you can apply to create a trauma-informed environment to safely engage, assess and support diverse LGBTQ children & youth and their families
  • Identify 2 Family Acceptance Project® strategies to use in your practice to engage families and to help decrease risk and promote well-being for their LGBTQ children
