×
Sylvie Naar, Ph.D., and Laura Reid Marks, Ph.D., attended the International Congress of Psychology in Prague, Czech Republic. At this event, Naar shared findings from a study by Scale It Upon on social determinants of mental health in sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY). Statistics on SGMY participants show 77% had high levels of trauma and stress, 78% were reluctant to share their identity with their healthcare provider (HCP), and 67% felt mistreated by a HCP based on their identity.
