Who We Are
We are a team of psychologists, physicians, nurses, scientists, filmmakers, and parents who design and evaluate resources to support families with LGBTQ+ kids. Researchers on our team come from George Washington University, Northwestern, Duke, and the University of Utah. We believe that when LGBTQ+ youth and young adults have strong, supportive relationships with their families, they will be happier, healthier, and more successful.
