This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing Parents ASSIST, a 5-week online program designed to help parents of gay and bisexual teens feel more confident talking with their kids about sexuality, relationships, and health. The program teaches parents communication skills and provides information about topics that matter to LGBTQ+ youth. Researchers want to see if this training helps families communicate better and improves everyone's mental health and wellbeing.
When gay or bisexual teens come out to their parents, family support is really important for their mental health and safety. But many parents don't know how to start or continue these conversations, which can leave both parents and teens feeling stressed, anxious, or isolated. This program was created to give parents the tools and knowledge they need to have these important talks with their kids.

If you're in the program group, you'll join an online session once per week for 5 weeks with a small group of other parents (8–12 people). Each week you'll watch two videos about sexual health and family communication, then complete homework activities with your teen at home. You'll have access to a secure website where you can log in to watch the videos and track your progress. The study will follow up with you for 12 months to see how things are going in your family.
