In a cisheteronormative culture, gender and sexual minorities (GSMs) may experience additional challenges that get in the way of a meaningful life. It is crucial that clinicians are mindful of these challenges and cognizant about the specificities of clinical work with GSMs. This article points out how societal structure interferes with mental health, and clarifies what clinicians must take into account when using affirmative cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) interventions. Knowledge of up-to-date terminology and use of affirmative language are the first steps that contribute to clients’ experience of respect, which is paramount for the development of a good therapeutic relationship. Considering a conceptual framework of minority stress to understand vulnerability in GSM, specificities in formulation and key psychological processes are discussed. Moreover, guidelines and practical tools for intervention are presented within a CBT approach. Some reflections on therapists’ own personal biases are encouraged, in order to increase the efficacy of interventions. Key learning aims After reading this article you will be able to: (1) Recognize the uniqueness of gender and sexual minorities (GSM) stressors in broad and specific contexts, and their impact on mental health. (2) Identify the underlying key processes and specificities in therapeutic work with GSMs, from a CBT perspective. (3) Recognize the importance of a culturally sensitive approach in affirmative CBT interventions.

“…Future research is needed to develop and evaluate self-compassion interventions for efficacy in promoting mental health among SGM individuals and potentially mitigating the effects of exposure to perceived discrimination (Finlay-Jones et al, 2021; Fredrick et al, 2020; S. Sun et al, 2021).…”

“…Researchers may find it beneficial to evaluate therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and other strategies focused on self-compassion and acceptance, as the current literature does not adequately examine the impact of such interventions among SGM individuals, though some initiatives have begun to fill this gap. For example, researchers in Australia have developed a randomized controlled trial protocol to evaluate mindful self-compassion training for SGM young adults (Finlay-Jones et al, 2021). Similar studies should be conducted with a diverse sample of SGM individuals to guide clinicians in choosing appropriate strategies to improve self-compassion and overall mental health among SGM individuals (Job & Williams, 2020).…”

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals frequently experience discrimination, often manifesting as poor mental health. Literature suggests that self-compassion improves mental health among SGM individuals, yet no research has examined whether the relationship between perceived discrimination and poor mental health is moderated by self-compassion among SGM adults. Data were collected in 2022 from 1,306 SGM adults in the United States recruited from Reddit. Sexual orientation, sex assigned at birth, and gender identity were measured, and participants were divided into one of two samples, cisgender sexual minority individuals and gender minority individuals. Probable anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7), probable depression (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Short Depression Scale), having considered suicide, and sociodemographics were also measured. Logistic regressions examined relationships between perceived discrimination, self-compassion, an interaction between the two, and all three mental health outcomes, adjusting for sexual orientation, gender identity, race/ethnicity, age, education, and income. In fully adjusted models, there were positive associations between perceived discrimination and each mental health outcome, and negative associations between self-compassion and each mental health outcome. Among gender minority individuals, there was a significant interaction between everyday discrimination and self-compassion for probable depression (p = .011) and having considered suicide (p = .022). For all SGM individuals, perceived discrimination was associated with poor mental health. Among gender minority adults, self-compassion was protective and attenuated this relationship. It is crucial to address discrimination using a multilevel approach to ensure reduction of harm for SGM individuals across the United States. Continued research is needed to clarify efficacy of self-compassion interventions for use among SGM adults.

This article examines the problem of suicide among teenagers, its psychological factors. Suicide is one of the urgent problems of today. There are some differences in suicidal behavior in adolescence. One of the pressing issues that concern us today is suicide. Lately, we often see that some of our adults and young people are experiencing psychological stress. If the psychological illness continues to worsen, that person’s passion for life disappears, he is not interested in any problem of this world except death. It takes a long time to recover from this disease, psychological help is needed. The main psychological factors for committing suicide are: low mood, death of a loved one, bad situations in the family (misunderstanding, jealousy, deception, etc.), blackmail, blackmail, threats, financial problems, unhappy love, sexual failure etc. People who have experienced these situations commit suicide, some of our young people are ready to crack like glass and face death without any fear if they face a little problem. It is known that the nervous generation cannot resist threats. Everyone perceives this disease, which has become a very serious problem today, in different ways and divides it into groups. One of them says that it is a change of times, while others recognize that it is due to the difficulty of the social situation or, if not, because of health. The main reason why a person commits suicide is his mental disorder. Keywords: suicidal, educational system, preventive, adolescents, university. Қоғам дамуының қазіргі әлеуметтік-мәдени жағдайында жеке тұлғаның дағдарыстық, аутодеструктивті күйлері қоздырады, бұл көбінесе суицидке әкеледі. Бұл мақалада жасөспірімдер арасындағы суицид мәселесі, оның психологиялық факторлары қарастырылады. Өз-өзіне қол жұмсау – қазіргі заманның өзекті мәселелерінің бірі. Жасөспірімдік шақта суицидтік мінез-құлықтың кейбір айырмашылықтары бар. Өз-өзіне қол жұмсау – бүгінгі таңда бізді толғандыратын өзекті мәселелердің бірі. Соңғы кездері кейбір ересектеріміз бен жастарымыздың психологиялық күйзеліске ұшырағанын жиі байқап жүрміз. Психологиялық ауру асқына берсе, адамның өмірге деген құштарлығы жоғалады, оны өлімнен басқа дүниенің ешбір мәселесі қызықтырмайды. Бұл аурудан айығу үшін көп уақыт қажет, психологиялық көмек қажет. Өз-өзіне қол жұмсаудың негізгі психологиялық факторлары: көңіл-күйдің нашарлығы, жақын адамының қайтыс болуы, отбасындағы қолайсыз жағдайлар (түсінбеушілік, қызғаныш, ал- дау, т.б.), бопсалау, бопсалау, қорқыту, қаржылық мәселелер, бақытсыз махаббат, жыныстық сәтсіздік және т.б. .. Осындай жағдайлардан аман қалған адамдар өз-өзіне қол жұмсайды, кейбір жастарымыз кішкентай бір мәселеге тап болса, әйнектей жарылып, өліммен бетпе-бет келуге дайын. Жүйке буыны қауіп-қатерге төтеп бере алмайтыны белгілі. Бүгінгі күні өте күрделі мәселеге айналған бұл ауруды әркім әрқалай қабылдап, топқа бөлінеді. Біреулер мұны уақыттың ауысуы десе, енді біреулері мұны әлеуметтік жағдайдың қиындығынан, болмаса денсаулық жағдайына байланысты деп мойындайды. Адамның өз- өзіне қол жұмсауының басты себебі – оның психикасының бұзылуы. Түйін сөздер: суицид, тәрбие жүйесі, профилактикалық, жасөспірімдер, университет В сложившейся социокультурной ситуации развития общества провоцируются кризисные, аутоде- структивные состояния личности, следствием которых нередко становится суицид. В данной статье рассматривается проблема суицида среди подростков, его психологические факторы. Самоубийство яв- ляется одной из актуальных проблем современности. Существуют некоторые отличия в суицидальном поведении в подростковом возрасте. Одной из насущных проблем, волнующих нас сегодня, является суицид. В последнее время мы часто видим, что некоторые наши взрослые и молодые люди испытывают психологический стресс. Если психологическая болезнь продолжает обостряться, у человека пропадает страсть к жизни, его не интересуют никакие проблемы этого мира, кроме смерти. Вылечиться от этого заболевания нужно долго, нужна психологическая помощь. Основными психологическими факторами совершения суицида являются: плохое настроение, смерть близкого человека, неблагоприятные ситуа- ции в семье (непонимание, ревность, обман и т. д.), шантаж, вымогательство, угрозы, финансовые про- блемы, несчастная любовь, сексуальная неудача и т. д. Люди, пережившие такие ситуации, кончают жизнь самоубийством, некоторые из нашей молодежи готовы треснуть, как стекло, и без всякого страха встретить смерть, если столкнутся с небольшой проблемой. Известно, что нервное поколение не может противостоять угрозам. Это заболевание, ставшее сегодня очень серьезной проблемой, все восприни- мают по-разному и делят на группы. Одни говорят, что это перемена времени, другие признают, что это связано с трудностью социального положения или, если нет, с состоянием здоровья. Основной причиной, по которой человек совершает самоубийство, является его психическое расстройство. Ключевые слова: суицидальные, воспитательная система, профилактика, подростки, вуз.
