“…For example, race-based trauma (i.e., psychological harm caused by racism) is often overlooked or belittled due either to disbelief that racial oppression exists or to beliefs limiting the extent to which racism causes emotional distress ( Carter & Pieterse, 2020 ; Hemmings & Evans, 2018 ; Johnson & Brookover, 2021 ). The 2021 death by suicide of Isabella “Izzy” Tichenor in Utah illustrates the tragic ramifications of a system’s failure to respond to identity-based bullying, which often results in the one being bullied experiencing trauma ( Galán et al, 2021 ; Joseph, 2021 ). Reports show that Izzy was harassed because of her race and autism spectrum disorder and despite being alerted, the school responded inadequately ( Joseph, 2021 ).…”

This special issue is on school counselors addressing education, health, wellness, and trauma disparities. The focus is on current and former school counselors’ collective experiences to contextualize the impact of the pandemic(s) on the lives and work of school counselors and the disruption to the lives of the students and families served. The collection of nine articles provides a window into the experiences of school counselors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Some past research indicates that TNB students of color may be more likely than CLGBQ students of color to experience race-based harassment (Truong et al, 2020a, 2020b; Zongrone et al, 2020a, 2020b). In another recent study, researchers found that among a diverse sample of youth, Black and Latinx TNB youth were the most likely to experience identity-based harassment at school (Galán et al, 2021). Other findings indicate that among LGBTQ youth overall, experiences of bias at school based on sexual orientation and gender expression may be more common for Native American students than other racial/ethnic populations, whereas these experiences may be less common for Black and AAPI students (Kosciw et al, 2020).…”

Background: Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) students commonly experience identity-based harassment, which is associated with poorer mental health, and TNB students of color may experience harassment targeting gender, race/ethnicity, and other identities. Applying an intersectional lens to minority stress theory suggests that different forms of identity-based harassment that target different identities are interconnected. However, few studies address intersecting forms of bias experienced by TNB students of color. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the interplay of racism and transphobia among TNB students by comparing experiences of racist and transphobic harassment across seven racial/ethnic groups and examining the effects of these forms of identity-based harassment on the mental health of TNB students of color. Participants: Participants were drawn from a large national sample of LGBTQ students who were enrolled in secondary school during the 2018-2019 school year. The study sample consists of all those who were TNB (N = 6,795). The majority of the sample identified as transgender (68.7%), and just under a third identified as nonbinary, but not as transgender (31.3%). The majority were White (71.3%), and approximately a third identified as gay or lesbian (33.7%).Research Design: This quantitative study employed a multivariate analysis of covariance to examine differences in frequency of racist and transphobic harassment across racial/ethnic groups. Hierarchical linear regressions were used to examine the main effects of harassment, as well as interaction effects between these forms of harassment, on depression and self-esteem among TNB students of color.

“…Religious identity often plays an important role in adolescents' development of self-identity. Identity-based bullying may lead minorities to experience greater stigma and insufficiency of self-identification, which are associated with poor mental and physical health, including nonsuicidal self-injury and suicidal behaviours (Galan et al ., 2021 ). In addition, interestingly, adolescents who were left out of activities on purpose or completely ignored had the highest probability of suicide planning, although this type of bullying had the lowest incidence.…”

Aims Adolescent suicide is a severe public health problem in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and adolescents who are victims of bullying have a higher risk of suicidal behaviours. However, detailed global data concerning the association between bullying victimisation and suicide are lacking; thus, further multicontinental studies exploring the association of bullying victimisation at different frequencies and types with suicidal behaviours are urgent. Methods The data were extracted from the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) (2010–2017) conducted in 40 LMICs (n = 151 184, mean age: 14.77 years, s.d.: 1.59, 54.2% females). Data concerning past-30-day bullying victimisation, past 12-month suicidal behaviours (suicidal ideation, suicidal plans and suicidal attempts) and other adverse health behaviours or outcomes were collected. Chi-square tests were used to explore the correlations among the main variables. A multivariable logistic regression and stratified logistic regressions were conducted to assess the associations. Results The overall prevalence of bullying victimisation, suicidal ideation, suicidal plans and suicidal attempts were 28.72, 12.64, 11.84 and 10.79%, respectively. The results showed a positive association of different frequencies and types of bullying victimisation with suicidal behaviours: suicidal ideation (odds ratio (OR) = 2.43, 2.06–2.87), suicidal plans (OR = 2.69, 2.28–3.17) and suicidal attempts (OR = 3.23, 2.73–3.82). Adolescents also reported the effects of being made fun of because of their religion: suicidal ideation (OR = 1.63, 1.41–1.88), suicidal plans (OR = 1.44, 1.24–1.66) and suicidal attempts (OR = 1.73, 1.50–1.98). Moreover, these associations varied among teenagers of different gender and body mass indexes (BMIs) and were stronger among males and adolescents who were underweight, overweight or obese. Conclusions Different types of bullying victimisation were positively related to suicidal behaviours; these associations varied among adolescents by gender and BMI. This study offers a theoretical basis for the identification of adolescents at a high risk of suicide and is beneficial for informing effective psychological interventions for constructing sound school environments, improving adolescents’ mental health and reducing the risk of suicide to promote health in LMICs and globally.
