Abstract: Personal resilience, but not social support, mediated the positive associations between caregiver rejection and negative mental health outcomes (depression, anxiety, PTSD) in 460 LGBTQ+ young adults (Mage = 21.6). Results point to the importance of targeting personal resilience in mental health interventions with LGBTQ+ populations, particularly those rejected by caregivers.
