While it is well documented that gender and sexual minority individuals have faced lifelong stigma, discrimination, and other experiences that may lead to adverse psycho-social outcomes, an emerging program of research suggests resilience can be a buffer against the impact of these stressors.
This webinar by Mental Health America will highlight how public health approaches to health and well-being have historically been rooted in a deficits based model and the recent shift in focus to examine strengths-based perspectives in GSM communities, especially in older HIV+ gay men.
Join this free, 60-minute webinar to learn more about using a resiliency-based approach to health disparities and the strengths of the gender and sexual minority communities in coping with stigma and discrimination.
