What is INQYR?
The International Partnership for Queer Youth Resilience (INQYR) is a SSHRC-funded interdisciplinary and multilingual international research partnership designed to understand and support the resilience of LGBTQIA2S+ youth through technology-engaged research. We seek to contribute to a deeper understanding of LGBTQ+ youth resilience that is inclusive of multiple regional contexts in an increasingly digitized world.
Our research aims to do this by using technology-engaged research methods, such as digital photo elicitation, and engaging in technology-focused research with LGBTQ+ youth.
INQYR also trains the next generation of scholars and practitioners working with LGBTQ+ youth through our International Student Training Network (ISTN) program.

How can mental health professionals help LGBTQ+ clients navigate adversity while supporting their capacity to thrive? Dr. Shelley Craig’s new book, The Nuts and Bolts of Affirmative CBT with Sexual and Gender Diverse Populations, answers this question with practical guidance on affirmative cognitive behavioural therapy.
Published by Oxford University Press, as part of the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) Clinical Practice Series, the book is designed for mental health clinicians and trainees working with sexual and gender diverse youth and adults. It offers evidence-informed therapeutic strategies, case examples, clinical scripts, activities and tools that connect research with the everyday work of supporting clients.
