Adult stakeholders' perspectives on supporting or undermining the mental health of sexual and gender minoritised adolescents
Adult stakeholders report that SGMA are often exposed to environments hostile to key aspects of their identity which then by extension undermines their mental health. These experiences can threaten their sense of safety and evolving identity. Practitioners in particular should be aware of the stressors relating to SGMA identity and minoritisation experiences in order to develop the psychological safety and sense of inclusion needed for SGMA to trust in the relationship and the support offered.
