This book provides an overview of risk and protective factors for
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) youth and
emerging adults to inform the clinical practice of mental health
professionals who work with this population. Documentation of
LGBTQ+ health disparities is well-established, but much of that
work has focused on adults. Additionally, while there has been a
greater push for the integration of mental health practice with
general healthcare delivery in recent years, there are few
resources for educating mental health professionals on how to work
within interdisciplinary teams to address the psychological,
physical, and behavioral health care needs of LGBTQ+ people. This
book addresses gaps in the literature, such as the needs of young
age groups and integration of physical and mental approaches to
care, which have traditionally been neglected in the health
disparities literature for psychologists and other mental health
professionals. This book is grounded in Minority Stress Theory, as
well as multicultural, intersectional, and positive youth
development frameworks. It emphasizes holistic health perspectives,
integrated care approaches (of mental health with general health
service delivery), and interdisciplinary team efforts targeting
both the psychological and physical health needs of children,
adolescents, and emerging adults.
