📋 Key Takeaway

A study by McGill University highlights that trauma therapies tailored for sexual and gender minorities yield better outcomes when delivered by sensitive therapists. This is significant as it suggests that mental health interventions in Iran could be improved for marginalized groups, potentially reducing trauma symptoms and risk-taking behaviors.

When therapies for psychological trauma are adapted for sexual and gender minorities and delivered by therapists with high levels of sensitivity to their experiences, outcomes are better, according to a scoping review by McGill University researchers. In particular, there are fewer post-traumatic stress symptoms such as nightmares and intrusive thoughts, as well as risk-taking behaviors (e.g., self-harm, drug use), the researchers said.
