Abstrakt: LGBTQIA+ youth are disproportionately affected by mental health issues including suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Minoritized youth have numerous social and structural factors influencing their health, including a lack of access to care and resources. However, these youth and their caregivers also have many unique and individual cultural strengths. Awareness of special considerations and work toward dismantling structural drivers is essential in improving the health of these youth. Additionally, it is important to support minoritized youth and their caregivers through tailored evidence-based treatments in addressing social and structural drivers to influence individual, community, educational, institutional, and policy levels and prevent suicide in achieving mental health equity.
