Synopsis

The Queer and Transgender Resilience Workbook will teach you how to challenge internalized negative messages, handle stress, build a community, and embrace your true self.

Resilience is a key ingredient for psychological health and wellness. It's what gives people the psychological strength to cope with stress and setbacks. But if you are queer or gender non-conforming, life stresses may also include discrimination in housing and health care, employment barriers, homelessness, family rejection, physical attacks or threats, and general unfair treatment and oppression. So, how can you gain resilience in a society that is so often toxic and unwelcoming?

In this important workbook, you'll discover how to cultivate the key components of resilience: holding a positive view of yourself and your abilities; knowing your worth and cultivating a strong sense of self-esteem; effectively utilizing resources; being assertive and creating a support community; fostering hope and growth within yourself, and finding the strength to help others.

By learning to challenge internalized negative messages and remove obstacles from your life, you can build the resilience you need to embrace your truest self.
