Sat, April 11, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 301A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium will provide a nuanced consideration of risk and protective factors within LGBTQIA+ populations. The first presentation will examine longitudinal trajectories of bias-based bullying victimization among gender minority adolescents, with attention to the function of social support. The second talk will present findings linking typologies of violent victimization and perpetration among LGBTQ+ adolescents with mental health and absenteeism. The third presentation will describe qualitative findings about the role of mentors and role models for transgender and nonbinary youth. The final talk will present findings on mental health and quality of life among autistic adults, considering the role of sexual and gender minority identification. The Discussant will offer critical commentary and actionable strategies to support reducing risk and facilitating resilience.
