CLEAR's vision is that every person — adult or child — will have access to the social and psychological resources necessary to construct affirming identities congruent with their deepest selves.

Working with an outstanding cadre of psychology researchers and graduate students, CLEAR is able to provide cost effective research consultation and technical assistance to help organizations develop evidence-based clinical practices. This includes development of treatments based on the best research evidence available and continued evaluation of treatment outcomes to determine the extent to which they work.

CLEAR encourages both qualitative and quantitative tools in a community participatory context matched to the specific needs of each project. All research conducted by CLEAR is informed by the most current research and practice in the field of LGBTQ youth, developmental psychology, socio-cultural approaches, and behavioral change technologies.
