    Project Description

    In the context of well-documented threats to the mental health and well-being of minority young people, this
    project will examine the experiences of two different generations of gender and sexual minority youth
    growing up in Australia, and the sources of support found most useful. Innovative contextual analysis will
    involve documentary and archival research alongside individual and group interviews. Through a focus on
    the promotion of well-being and participatory citizenship in a rapidly changing social world, findings will
    contribute new theory concerning transitions from youth to adulthood, improved methodology for the study of
    marginal and sometimes hard-to-reach populations, and better quality policy and practice.
