ABSTRACT
Drawing on psychology, sociology, pedagogy, and prevention sciences, this book offers a comprehensive perspective on the contemporary and complex experiences of sexually and gender diverse (SGD) adolescents worldwide.
This important book explores adolescent experiences extending to countries worldwide where issues related to LGBTQ+ rights, adolescent mental health, and social acceptance are of concern. It not only uncovers the intricate world of SGD adolescents and the complexities of resilience, risk, and critical perspectives, but it also explores health and well-being, generational dynamics, societal norms, globalization, and transformative pedagogy. Chapters cover topics including the role of family members, in-school victimization, intimate relationships, the role of social media, gender-affirming care, and generational differences.
Focusing on the latest research and moving beyond theory to provide evidence-based strategies, policies, and interventions, this is a must-buy for advanced students and researchers seeking timely and up-to-date knowledge, as well as practitioners, educators, and policymakers looking to effect positive change in the lives of SGD adolescents.
