摘要

Purpose of Review

Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) LGBTQ + youth face complex challenges in mental health as a result of their intersecting identities. Using three representative cases, this review highlights specific challenges these youth face as well as evidence-based approaches, interventions, and clinical considerations for clinicians working with these populations.

Recent Findings

Integrative frameworks of intersectional stress and trauma can facilitate healing in AAPI LGBTQ + individuals through addressing the relationships between structural oppression, internalized oppression and stigma, interpersonal discrimination, cultural values, and social support.

Summary

Clinicians working with AAPI LGBTQ + youth should cultivate inclusive spaces within and outside of clinical settings. Intersectional care can be achieved through modeling young people into a strong relationship with their families, cultural identities, schools, and communities. It also includes clinician’s awareness of internal biases and cultural sensitivity. More research is warranted in designing novel culturally- and family-centered interventions tailored for AAPI LGBTQ + care.
