LGBTQ+ Affirmative Psychological Interventions: A Latine/X Perspective

Reynel Alexander Chaparro (él/him/his) holds a PhD in psychology from the National University of Colombia. He created the student group Psychological Intervention and Sexual Diversity in which community intervention projects were developed, on topics related to sexual orientations, gender identities and the link between religion - spirituality and sexual diversity. His work has been focused on the understanding of sexual and gender diversities, as well as LGBTIQ+ identities, and their dynamics in different contexts of health intervention, both in Colombia and Brazil (NUH - Research Group in Human Rights and LGBTI citizenship in the Federal University of Minas Gerais). Since 2016, he is the representative of the Colombian College of Psychologists (COLPSIC) in IPsyNet, the International Psychology Network for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Issues, of the American Psychological Association (APA). Since 2022, he is working as a mental health therapist in Washington State USA, with a special focus on multicultural, BIPOC and local Latine/x communities.

Roberto L. Abreu (he/him/él) is an assistant professor of Counseling Psychology and the director of the Collective Healing and Empowering VoicEs through Research and Engagement (¡Chévere!) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Florida (UF). He is also an affiliate faculty in Center for Latin American Studies, and the Center for Gender, Sexualities and Women's Studies Research at UF. His research explores ways in which marginalized communities resist systemic oppression and promote bienestar colectivo (collective well-being). Specifically, Roberto's work has made significant contributions in two areas: (a) intersection of Latine/x lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth and their families and communities, and (b) transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth and their families and communities. Roberto's work is guided by social justice values such as person-environment interactions, growth, resilience, and resistance. His work can be found in journals such as the American Psychologist (AP), Journal of Counseling Psychology (JCP), The Counseling Psychologist (TCP), Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity (PSOGD), International Journal of Transgender Health (IJTH), Journal of Latinx Psychology (JLP), and Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology (JCCAP), among others. Roberto currently serves as Associate Editor for Journal of Prevention and Health Promotion (JPHP) and Qualitative Psychology (QP).
