Members of LGBTQ+ communities often experience individual and community trauma that increases the likelihood of poor mental and physical health outcomes. We will discuss the Minority Stress Model and its application to cisgender and transgender populations within LGBTQ+ communities. We will highlight factors associated with resilience and illustrate how community members have created their own sources of resilience. We will describe the role of families in the development of resilience in LGBTQ+ young people and share a personal story highlighting family resilience.
