ABOUT FAMILY

We’ve supported thousands of LGBT families over the years and we are here for you, too. Our programs are designed to help LGBT families establish healthy relationships and community connections, and to provide information and support to help you reach your social, emotional and financial goals.

From questions about building a family, to parenting support and networking, couples/relationship and family counseling, legal and financial clinics, and medical resources and referrals, we can connect you with the information you need.

THE LGBTQ INSTITUTE FOR FAMILY THERAPY (LIFT)

The Center is invested in making all homes safe and affirming for LGBT youth. As part of our commitment to families, we offer The LGBTQ Institute for Family Therapy Certification Program (LIFT). LIFT is the first and only LGBTQ-specific family therapy certification program offering specialized training for clinicians to keep families with LGBTQ children unified, and support the reunification efforts of families who are separated from their LGBTQ children. Upon program completion, clinicians will receive 54 CE hours. This program is free to eligible clinicians for a limited time.
