The Trevor Project Research Brief: LGBTQ Youth with a History of Foster Care
|
|
|
LGBTQ youth are at elevated risk for suicide compared with their straight/cisgender peers (Johns et al, 2019; Johns et al., 2020). This risk stems from experiences of minority stress including victimization and rejection rather than something inherent about being LGBTQ (Meyer, 2003). Victimization and rejection from caregivers can also result in LGBTQ youth involvement in the foster care system (Newcomb et al., 2019), which is strongly associated with greater suicide risk among youth in general (Brown, 2020). Despite the overrepresentation of LGBTQ youth among those who have entered foster care (Baams, Russel, & Wilson 2019), there remains a lack of studies examining which subgroups of LGBTQ youth are most at risk of being in foster care as well as how a foster care history relates to suicide risk among LGBTQ youth. |

Objective: Transgender youth have a high risk of adverse mental health outcomes. Family acceptance may play a protective role in transgender youth’s psychosocial adjustment; however, studies have largely examined acceptance independent from gender identity, averaged across family members, and in extreme examples (i.e., high acceptance or high rejection). Grounded in interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory, this study documents transgender youth’s experiences of family acceptance-rejection across family members, including siblings, and investigates the relationship between family acceptance-rejection and youth psychosocial functioning.
Method: Fifty-four youth completed psychosocial questionnaires, and youth and caregivers completed semistructured clinical interviews, which were coded for family acceptance-rejection. Analyses examined associations between acceptance-rejection and psychosocial variables.
Results: Lower primary caregiver past acceptance predicted increased youth depressive/anxiety symptoms/internalizing problems. Higher secondary caregiver in- difference predicted increased youth depressive symptoms. Lower sibling acceptance predicted increased youth suicidal ideation. Conclusions: Findings demonstrate that family acceptance-rejection plays an important role in the psychosocial adjustment of transgender youth. New to the existing literature are the findings that caregiver indifference and sibling acceptance are associated with mental health outcomes. |

Parents with mental health problems and their families are one of the four groups most likely to be excluded from health and social care provision (SEU 2004). Changing this requires a new way of working across adult mental health and children's services. This summary identifies what needs to change to improve service planning, delivery and practice and so help to improve the health, wellbeing and life chances of families affected by parental mental ill health. |
