## Family Support
#### Indicators of family support with regards to sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as general support, is associated with positive indicators of health and wellbeing
* [Cornell University](https://whatweknow.inequality.cornell.edu/topics/lgbt-equality/what-does-the-scholarly-research-say-about-the-acceptancerejection-of-lgbt-youth-2/)
* A **META-ANALYSIS** of **42 peer-reviewed studies** that analyzed the links between family support and the health and well-being of LGBT youth
* **25 studies** found that accepting behavior by parents toward their children’s sexual orientation or gender identity is linked to the health and well-being of LGBT youth.
* The other **17 studies** found that family support in general (i.e. not necessarily in response to children’s sexual orientation or gender identity) is linked to the health and well-being of LGBT youth.
