Abstract

Within elite sport, very little is known about the mental health symptoms and disorders of LGBTQ+ identifying athletes, their experiences with accessing treatment, or their journeys through recovery. Individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ are more likely to experience mental health symptoms and disorders, and non-accidental violence, compared to others. Mental health researchers and providers who work with LGBTQ+ identifying elite athletes are in positions to improve knowledge and pathways to mental health services, address and minimize barriers to mental health services, and enhance mental health service delivery.
