Minority Stress & the Importance of Affirmative Mental Health Counseling
特定人群面临的压力与心理治疗的重要性
Organized by the Paul Tsai China Center at Yale Law School.
本次活动由耶鲁大学法学院蔡中曾中国中心主办。
The Event/活动简介
LGBT people consistently face poorer mental health than the general population. Research suggests that LGBT people’s exposure to stigma-related stress might explain their poorer mental health. What structural and individual-level interventions might reduce this disparity? Professor John Pachankis of the Yale School of Public Health and Dr. Ilan Meyer, Senior Scholar at the UCLA School of Law Williams Institute, will discuss the effect of “minority stress” on LGBT people and the role LGBT-affirming counseling can play in reducing the impact of these stigma-related stressors.
The Speakers/演讲嘉宾
John Pachankis
Associate Professor of Public Health, Yale School of Public Health
Professor John Pachankis’s research specifically seeks to identify the psychological and social influences that might explain LGBT individuals’ disproportionate experiences with several adverse mental health outcomes, like depression and substance abuse. He uses social epidemiological, experimental, and mixed methods approaches to conduct this research. Drawing on his background as a clinical psychologist, his ultimate goal is to translate the results of these studies into psycho-social interventions to improve the health of the LGBT community.
Ilan H. Meyer
Williams Distinguished Senior Scholar for Public Policy at the Williams Institute for Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy at UCLA’s School of Law, Professor Emeritus of Sociomedical Sciences, Columbia University
Dr. Ilan Meyer’s academic background is in social psychology, psychiatric epidemiology, and sociomedical sciences in public health. His areas of research include stress and illness in minority populations, in particular, the relationship of minority status, minority identity, prejudice and discrimination and mental health outcomes in sexual minorities and the intersection of minority stressors related to sexual orientation, race/ethnicity and gender. In several highly cited papers, Dr. Meyer has developed a model of minority stress that describes the relationship of social stressors and mental disorders and helps to explain LGBT health disparities.
