We are the *big inhale* Program for Internet Delivered Interventions on LGBTQA+ Mental Health! *exhale*
But we aren't just a mouthful of an acronym. We are a team of researchers and thinkers whose personal experiences led us to question the ways our time online impacts the way we navigate our inner and external lives.
Mental health is important for everyone, but negative mental health outcomes are experienced more often by LGBTQ+ youth. Our lab is examining where health disparities can be addressed using social media interventions. By researching how social media use affects LGBTQ+ people's mental health, we can eventually develop and test technological interventions that prevent bad mental health outcomes for marginalized youth.
