Description
The Family Acceptance Project® (FAP) launched the field of family acceptance and support for LGBTQ children and youth. Over the past two decades, FAP conducted the first research on LGBTQ youth and families, developed the first evidence-based family support model to help diverse families to decrease rejection and increase acceptance and support for their LGBTQ children and developed the first “Best Practice” resources for suicide prevention for LGBTQ youth and multilingual family education materials to decrease rejection and increase support for LGBTQ children and youth.
This is the first training provided by FAP to teach practitioners how to apply FAP’s trauma-informed family support model. During three 3-hour sessions participants will learn how to use FAP’s culturally grounded assessment measures, how to provide organizational safety and support for LGBTQ children and youth, how to develop and implement a family support plan and how to
provide psychoeducation for racially and religiously diverse families, including families that reject their LGBTQ children provided by the developers of this work.
The Project Harmony Training Institute is pleased to organize this training designed to build new knowledge and skills for therapists who participate in our various provider networks. This training is generously funded by a community benefactor. It represents a significant financial investment in our providers. It is essential that anyone who registers is fully committed to attending the entire training: initial sessions in July as well as the follow up case consultation calls. We hope to secure the funding needed to offer this training again in the future, so if you are unable to fully commit to the scheduled sessions, please wait for a future session. In light of the cost of providing you with this training, there will be no additional financial incentives for providers to attend this training.
