<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden administration&#8217;s</a> Health and Human Services (HHS) department is offering up to $1.7 million in grants to groups that promote family &#8220;acceptance&#8221; of LGBT youths.</p>
<p>Groups can get <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/grants/grant-announcements/fg-23-004" target="_blank" rel="noopener">up to $425,000</a> a year for programs that &#8220;reduce rejection&#8221; of LGBT youth by their families and connect families to counseling in order to increase their acceptance.</p>
<p>The program is through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).</p>
<p>The program&#8217;s purpose is to &#8220;prevent health and behavioral health risks&#8221; like suicide, depression, homelessness, drug use, and HIV and to &#8220;promote well-being for LGBTQI+ youth in the context of their families/caregivers, cultures, and communities&#8221; through family counseling and support programs and interventions, according to the program&#8217;s SAMHSA <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/grants/grant-announcements/fg-23-004" target="_blank" rel="noopener">page</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Research has shown that LGBTQI+ youth are at greater risk for poor behavioral health outcomes than their cisgender, heterosexual counterparts,&#8221; the grant application materials <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/grants/pdf/fy-2023-lgbtq-family-support-nofo.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">read</a>.</p>
<p>The grant application materials cited a survey from The Trevor Project, a transgender activist group focused on youth, that found that LGBT youth with &#8220;high social support&#8221; from their families reported fewer suicide attempts than those with &#8220;low or moderate social support.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yet, fewer than 1 in 3 transgender and nonbinary youth found their home to be gender-affirming,&#8221; the materials add. &#8220;Negative parental reactions related to sexual orientation are associated with increases in substance use, including alcohol, marijuana, and cigarettes, as well as higher risk of suicidal ideation.”</p>
<p>Transgender activists frequently tell parents who do not affirm their child&#8217;s new gender identity that they are increasing the likelihood their child will commit suicide. Activists push parents to allow their trans-identifying child access to medical interventions like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and even gender surgeries, all of which are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/puberty-blockers-cause-infertility-and-are-given-out-like-candy-according-to-gender-clinic-director" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not completely</a> reversible.</p>

<p>Grant recipients must connect youth and their families with counseling and support. They must also refer youth with mental health or substance abuse disorders to the proper community providers.</p>
<p>Groups must also develop an &#8220;evidence-based family counseling intervention&#8221; to &#8220;promote family acceptance&#8221; of LGBT youth and &#8220;prevent behaviors associated with family rejection of the LGBTQI+ youth that can lead to mental health and substance use conditions.&#8221;</p>

<p>They must also establish an LGBT &#8220;advisory workgroup&#8221; that can include LGBT activists, youth, parents, and counselors.</p>
<p>Groups that get a grant are also allowed to use social media to promote the message that family rejection of a child&#8217;s LGBT identity could lead to suicide and other behavioral problems.</p>
<p>They may also consult with child welfare devices on programs that encourage families to accept their child&#8217;s identity.</p>
<p>The Biden administration has come out strongly in favor of allowing children to access transgender medical interventions like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex change surgeries.</p>
<p>Last year, President Biden called on HHS to increase access to transgender medical treatments and fight red states that are attempting to restrict children&#8217;s access to them.</p>
<p>“My message to all the young people: Just be you,” Biden <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2022/06/15/joe-biden-texas-transgender-care/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the time.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, it is more popular than ever for youth to adopt new gender identities. An estimated 300,000 minors aged 13 to 17 <a href="https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/transgender-estimate-press-release/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> as transgender as of last year.</p>
