LGBTQ RESOURCES 

( Draft, Under Construction, More Soon )

​

​Resources (mental health, suicide, navigating sexuality, and more) for the LGBTQ community.  In the United States, places like Texas and Florida are working hard to make life more difficult for the community.  This cruelty, ignorance, and disgusting abuse of political power strengthens ComeSoFar.org's resolve and commitment to being a safe haven for everyone, despite sexual orientation, nationality, creed, race, gender, financial status, background, etc etc.

Always, Always Remember:

​

You are not the opinion of others.

You are not alone.

No amount of darkness can stop a spark of light.

  • The Family Acceptance Project™ (FAP) is a community research, intervention, and education initiative that studies the impact of family acceptance and rejection on the health, mental health and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth.  Results are being used to help strengthen families and to develop training materials and a new family model of wellness and care to help ethnically diverse families support their LGBT children.

    • "FAP's research shows that families, parents, foster parents, caregivers, and guardians can have a very dramatic impact on their LGBT children. It found that family acceptance promotes well-being and helps protect LGBT young people against risk, and that family rejection has a serious impact on a gay or transgender young person's risk for health and mental health problems, such as depression, suicide, substance abuse and HIV."
