Unhoused LGBTQ youth face some of the highest rates of stress, discrimination, and mental health challenges in the country, but most mental health programs are not designed with their lives in mind. Many require weekly sessions, long-term housing, or language that does not represent their identities. In response, this project asks: What if we co-created something different? Something short, affirming, and rooted in their real lives? We will work with unhoused LGBTQ youth to co- design a set of contemplative micropractices, ultra-brief (20-second to five-minute) activities that support mental health and affirm identity. These might include breathing exercises, grounding strategies, or self-affirming phrases. We will then test these practices in a randomized controlled trial comparing an integrated mindfulness and identity-affirming intervention to an active control. Participants will complete surveys before and after to help us understand which practices are most helpful for reducing stress and promoting well- being. This project matters because it centers the voices of youth who are often excluded from mental health research. By co-creating practices that fit into their daily lives, we aim to offer tools that are accessible, affirming, and powerful, especially for those with the fewest resources.
