Narratives, Ideas, and Skills for Personal and Social Resilience and Growth in Response to Minority Stress

The LGBTQIA+ Peacebuilding Book Project offers two guidebooks, Feel Secure in Yourself and Relate to Others with Confidence, published by Rowman & Littlefield, and 12 companion booklets self-published by each set of chapter coauthors.

Each chapter has 3 to 15 coauthors, with differing and sometimes politically opposing viewpoints, who came together to contribute their ideas and skills regarding the chapter topic. About 110+ scholars, clinicians, and/or community leaders contributed to this project. Their reason for this collaboration was to find common ground on the chapter topic, 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 used by academics, clinicians, researchers, religious leaders, parents, and other providers. They are for conservatives and progressives who want to learn updated and integrated ideas and skills about sexuality, gender, race/ethnicity, faith/purpose of life, emotional health, resilience, and relationships.

These resources are not designed to sway readers to live one option or another, or to invalidate any life choices.
