Summary

This study tests a simple, 3-session expressive writing program to help sexual minority Veterans cope with stress from discrimination and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. About 85 Veterans who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or queer and have significant distress will participate. The goal is to see if this brief, no-medication approach is helpful and practical for use in VA care.
