Mental & Emotional Health of 2SGBTQ+ Men

This new factsheet on the mental and emotional health of 2SGBTQ+ men, reviewed by Dr. Jordan Goodridge and Devan Nambiar is for frontline, healthcare and community workers serving queer guys.

In the world we live in today, a holistic view of health and wellbeing must include mental and emotional health alongside physical health. To provide client-centered healthcare that is tailored to the unique needs of queer men, clinicians and healthcare providers should know how queerness intersects with various facets of men’s health.

This factsheet takes an intersectional lens and looks at different factors such as HIV status, trauma, housing, race, age, ability, class, body image, substance use, etc. and makes suggestions for coping as well as improvements to the healthcare system.
