CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It summarizes factors that can affect disclosure decisions, including practical safety, past parental behavior, available support, and personal control over timing. Results are reflective and cannot predict any individual reaction.
Is this a clinical or professional safety assessment?
No. It is not a diagnosis and not a clinical, legal, or professional safety assessment.
How long does it take and how many questions are included?
It takes about 10 minutes to complete. It includes 15 questions.
How should the results be used?
Use results as a prompt to consider risks, supports, and practical options before disclosing. The quiz does not decide whether disclosure should occur, and waiting is a valid choice.
What if disclosure could lead to harm or loss of essentials?
If there is risk of violence, forced outing, or loss of housing or basic needs, seek help from a trusted adult, an LGBTQ+ support organization, or emergency services before taking action. Prioritize immediate safety planning.
