Description
This guidebook is designed to increase readers’ social resilience and assertiveness in response to minority stress. It highlights the need for belonging and community building, promoting a safe, collaborative, and peaceful coexistence within our diverse, pluralistic cultures.
The LGBTQIA+ Peacemaking Book Project offers two guidebooks, Feel Secure in Yourself and Relate to Others with Confidence, along with twelve e-resources self-published by each set of chapter coauthors. The chapter coauthors are scholars, clinicians, and/or community leaders with differing and sometimes politically opposing viewpoints. They collaborated to find common ground, reduce prejudice, and improve LGBTQIA+ health and self-development for a wide range of readers.
These self-help resources are written for the general public and can be utilised by academics, clinicians, researchers, religious leaders, parents, and other providers who wish to learn updated and integrated ideas and skills concerning sexuality, gender, race and ethnicity, faith and purpose of life, emotional health, resilience, and relationships. This book project is a social experiment in bridge-building and hope, aiming to empower readers with identity and skill development, while reducing the side-taking that impairs growth.
