Family Acceptance Posters
The Family Acceptance Project® is a research, intervention, education and policy initiative to prevent health and mental health risks for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer-identified (LGBTQ) children and youth, including suicide, homelessness, drug use and HIV — in the context of their families, cultures and faith communities.
The Family Acceptance Project has published new research-based posters to educate family members, providers, religious leaders, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer-identified (LGBTQ) youth and others about the critical role of family support for LGBTQ children and youth to prevent suicide and other serious health outcomes and to build healthy futures.
The posters are designed to be used in all settings:
To educate the public, families, caregivers, providers, religious leaders and LGBTQ young people – about the critical link between specific family rejecting and accepting behaviors with risk and well-being for LGBTQ children and youth, especially suicide.
To serve as an education and intervention resource to help families to decrease rejection to prevent risk and to increase acceptance and support to promote well-being for LGBTQ children & youth.
