Abstract
Mental illness and resilience among sexual and gender minority refugees and asylum seekers.
White, L., Cooper, M. & Lawrence, D.
It is well documented that refugees and asylum seekers (RAS) experience high levels of mental illness. This is also true of sexual and/or gender minority (SGM) individuals. Based on a literature summary, we present the current research on mental illness in individuals who experience the ‘multiple minority stress’ of being both SGM individuals and RAS.
