THOSE FOCUS AREAS INCLUDE LGBTQ-SPECIFIC: FAMILY RESOURCE AND SUPPORT NETWORKS WITH THE EVOLUTION OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND ONLINE NETWORKS, LGBTQ FAMILY GROUPS HAVE SPRUNG UP ACROSS THE NATION; HOWEVER, NO COORDINATING BODY HAS EXISTED TO SUPPORT AND CONNECT THOSE NETWORKS. FAMILY EQUALITY COUNCIL NOW CONVENES THE NATIONAL NETWORK OF LGBTQ FAMILY GROUPS, CONNECTING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF LGBTQ FAMILIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BUILDING CURRICULUM, AND SHARING BEST PRACTICES FOR THESE NETWORKS. FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AND VISIBILITY AN IMPORTANT PILLAR OF THE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT IS ENGAGING LGBTQ FAMILIES AND ENSURING THE VISIBILITY OF THEIR STORIES.
