LGBTQ+ children and youth are at high risk for trauma that is both related to and unrelated to their sexual orientation and gender identity. This webinar will discuss the integration of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), the most widely used trauma treatment model for children and youth worldwide, and the Family Acceptance Project (FAP), the first research and family support model to reduce risk and promote well-being for LGBTQ+ children and youth. FAP and TF-CBT integrated both family intervention models. The modified integrated trauma treatment model of TF-CBT – FAP has shown a significant decrease in PTSD symptoms for LGBTQ+ youth.
