“…Resilience may play a particularly crucial role in the lives of LGBTQ+ people who experience chronic distress and rejection from their families of origin. In particular, researchers have demonstrated that resilience plays a critical role in the management of depression (Bonanno et al, 2012; Pizeta et al, 2017).…”

WhenLGBTQþ people come out they often experience turbulence in their families of origin that impacts their access to psychosocial resources. In general, families of origin are a source of support and resilience, but this may not always be the case for LGBTQþ people. When LGBTQþ people are unable to rely on their families of origin, researchers posit that chosen families may be created by LGBTQþ people as a replacement for the support (e.g., advice, guidance, resources) they would otherwise receive from their families of origin. To test whether or not chosen families serve a similar role in mental health as families of origin, a study was conducted with LGBTQþ identified people (N = 175) to investigate associations between perceived support from chosen family, perceived support from family of origin, resilience, and depression in LGBTQþ adults. A hierarchical linear regression was run to determine whether increases in perceived chosen family predicted decreases in depression after controlling for resilience and family of origin support. In order to provide more insight into chosen family dynamics, a social network analysis was also conducted. Results indicated that family of origin support was the only significant predictor of depression levels in the final model. The social network analysis revealed that, within their chosen families, participants feel the most support from their friends. Findings suggest that the contribution of biological family support to mental health outcomes in LGBTQþ people may outweigh support from chosen family. Additional findings and implications for mental health care are discussed. Public Significance StatementThis study provides a deeper understanding of the relational dynamics within LGBTQþ family support systems.LGBTQþ people reported experiencing more support from their chosen families than from their families of origin and they indicated that they felt closer to their chosen families. However, LGBTQþ participants with higher levels of support from their families of origin were more likely to report lower depression levels. These results indicate that chosen family support is important, but that it may not play the same role in the lives of LGBTQþ people as does family of origin.

Rescue workers are liable for responding to natural and man-made emergencies in the day-to-day routine. Operational rescue workers have to face extended duty hours, harsh behavior of crowds at the incident places, and less leisure time for themselves and their family members. In contrast, non-operational workers do not directly respond to emergencies. So, this study aimed to determine how operational and non-operational rescue workers cope with daily stressors. Furthermore, the study also aimed to test the correlation between different coping strategies among rescuers. For this purpose, a cross-sectional survey was conducted using cluster sampling techniques among 199 rescuers from nine districts in Punjab, Pakistan. Data was collected using the Brief COPE scale (Carver, 1997) and analyzed using correlation and t-test. Results of this study show that the mean scores of non-operational and operational rescue workers are significantly different from each other on "Problem-focused Coping," "Emotional Coping," and "Avoidance Coping." Likewise, "Problem-focused Coping" is negatively correlated to "Emotional Coping" and "Avoidance Coping." The study concludes that rescue workers who have "Problem-focused Coping" strategies are less likely to use "Emotional Coping" and "Avoidance Coping" strategies. Moreover, operational rescuers are less likely to use "Problem-focused Coping" and more likely to use "Emotional Coping" and "Avoidance Coping" strategies; however, non-operational rescue workers use coping strategies in vice versa.
