Abstract

COVID-19 related challenges for LGBTQ2S homeless youth remain unknown. This study engages a group of LGBTQ2S youth a) at-risk of, and b) experiencing, homelessness to understand their specific challenges, coping strategies, and mental health responses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations will be produced for the development and improvement of programs and targeted responses aimed at preventing and addressing LGBTQ2S youth homelessness during the pandemic.
