Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Families with Pride ("Familias con Orgullo")	Families with Pride (Familias con Orgullo) aims to prevent the co-occurring epidemics of drug use and depression in Hispanic sexual minority youth. It focuses on improving parent support for the adolescent, parent acceptance of the adolescent, family functioning (e.g., communication), and decreasing stress and sexual minority stress. The program consists of 11 weekly, in-person sessions: 7 parent group sessions, 3 concurrent adolescent group sessions, both lasting two hours, 4 family sessions lasting 1 hour in either Spanish or English, depending on participant language preference. In the parent group sessions, parents come together to foster social support, family functioning, and increase parental support and acceptance for the adolescent. In the adolescent sessions, adolescents build skills in confronting and managing stressors related to being a sexual minority.
