Family Acceptance Project

Youth & Students · South Dakota · Free

Research-based approach to helping families support LGBTQ+ youth. A starting point for parents whose child just came out and they're not sure what comes next. Many organizations host annual leadership conferences and summer camps — applications open spring. LGBTQ+ students with a GSA at school are 50% less likely to attempt suicide than those without. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ South Dakota residents and allies.
