Participants also endorsed several provider behaviors that would make interventions more welcoming (e.g., post a bill of rights expressing commitment to nondiscriminatory care, ask clients their pronouns). Intervention strategies to improve LGBTQ+ people’s experiences of accessing mental health care for psychological trauma are discussed.","PeriodicalId":46113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of LGBTQ Issues in Counseling","volume":"199 1","pages":"77 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78900880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LGBTGEQIAP + population continues to face the following challenges: affordable and affirming healthcare, trans and gender non-conforming youth rights, employment discrimination, unhoused, and interpersonal violence, and sexual abuse. Although research identifies many issues, it is often lacking in how to advocate for the needs of these individuals.

Most important perhaps for the joumal is our move to yet another new \"old house,\" and along with this move, the shifting of our collection of women's literature and feminist criticism to McFarlin Library. (Visitors to McFarlin thus now have easy access not only to the tremendous manuscript and book collections for women writers in \"Special Collections\" but also to Tulsa Studies' inviting archive of books, with the Virago publications at its core.) In addition to these momentous changes, I have become Chair of the Department of English here at the University of Tulsa, while carrying on with editorship of Tulsa Studies, and I do so at a time when-as many of our readers may already know-we will be searching for a new editor of the James Joyce Quarterly to replace Robert Spoo. We miss Bob, his diligence and energy, and his companionship in the \"Red House(s)\" where the joumals have physically dwelled. The new house where we reside is an elegant structure, set apart slightly from the main campus on a grassy corner. This change was necessitated by the university's development, as it follows through on its \"master plan.\" While this move-like the previous one-was onerous for those of us who tumed their backs on the memories associated with the spaces in which we worked, and especially for those who packed and unpacked the boxes, the new house tums out to be a more spacious and more pleasant place in which to work. Previously the house was used as a seminary. We welcome visitors who may happen through Tulsa or McFarlin Library. (I wish to thank, in particular, Linda Frazier, Olivia Martin, Kara Ryan-Johnson, Michael Berglund, and Pauline Newton for their help with this move.) We are not yet entirely moved into the house even now, and the move has slowed down our operations, as our current authors, reviewers, and readers already know. We hope that most of you will not notice much in the way of glitches. If you do, however, please let us know, so that we can attend to them as soon as possible. The shifting of Tulsa Studies' small library from our house to McFarlin has caused the greatest of the gaps, of course, in our sense of space in the new house. This was not an easy decision to make. Yet we have long felt that far more students should and would find their ways to this collection if it could be discovered among the rooms of the main library. With library space at a premium, we were surprised and delighted when we leamed we would be able to establish this women's literature collection in McFarlin.","PeriodicalId":46113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of LGBTQ Issues in Counseling","volume":"14 1","pages":"289 - 289"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15538605.2020.1830632","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49205870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
