Healthy Families Bright Futures Information Page
The Healthy Families Bright Futures (HFBF) program seeks to develop an online program for LGBTQ+ teens and their parents/caregivers. The program aims to help teens feel pride and acceptance in their LGBTQ+ identities, and to empower them to make healthy decisions consistent with their values and their goals and dreams for the future. For parents/caregivers, the HFBF program seeks to help caregivers in supporting and accepting their LGBTQ+ teens, as well as in providing the necessary support and structure for their teens to become healthy adults.
HFBF has hourly online group sessions held once per week for seven weeks. There are separate sessions for teens and parents/caregivers. The program includes discussions, resources, videos, skill-building activities, and other interactive activities.
As part of this program, teens and parents/caregivers will complete surveys to help us learn how the program is working, and how we can improve it.
