Overview

This is a pilot clinical trial to test an intervention called FLARE, which is an adolescent relationship abuse prevention program for sexual and gender diverse youth and their trusted adults. FLARE comprises in-person, virtual, and asynchronous programming developed by and for caregivers and adolescents.
