Abstract

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) youth face disparities in mental health and substance use. LGBTQ+ community-based organizations (CBOs) offer resources that may combat stress and mental health concerns; however, limited research has examined their programs or practices. We explored the facets of youth mental health services offered by LGBTQ+ CBOs in the US. Qualitative interviews were conducted with staff at 16 LGBTQ+ CBOs in the US. Findings revealed four overarching themes. Mental health program objectives and characteristics included four sub-themes: counseling and therapy, safe spaces and community, case management, and education. Factors influencing the development of LGBTQ+ mental health programs included two sub-themes: program creation and youth influence. Factors influencing the delivery of LGBTQ+ youth mental health programs included four sub-themes: program planning and coordination, inclusive and intersectional processes, training and curriculum resources, and capacity-building resources. Implications for LGBTQ+ CBOs are discussed.

支持LGBTQ+青少年心理健康的社区努力：项目目标、发展和交付

女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人和酷儿（LGBTQ+）青年在心理健康和药物使用方面存在差异。LGBTQ+社区组织（cbo）提供资源，可以对抗压力和心理健康问题；然而，有限的研究已经检查了他们的计划或实践。我们探索了美国LGBTQ+ cbo提供的青少年心理健康服务的各个方面。我们对美国16家LGBTQ+首席执行官进行了定性访谈。调查结果揭示了四个主要主题。心理健康项目的目标和特点包括四个子主题：咨询和治疗、安全空间和社区、病例管理和教育。影响LGBTQ+心理健康项目发展的因素包括两个子主题：项目创建和青少年影响。影响LGBTQ+青少年心理健康项目实施的因素包括四个子主题：项目规划与协调、包容性与交叉性进程、培训与课程资源、能力建设资源。对LGBTQ+ cbo的影响进行了讨论。
