Abstract/Excerpt

In this article, the editor of the Special Issue of Practice Innovations on Evidence-Based Relationship Variables in Working with Affectional and Gender Minorities discusses the conceptualization of evidence-based relationship variables (EBRV) as a foundational component of trauma-informed affirmative care. The article then shares the importance and value of EBRVs as they specifically apply to working with affectional and gender minorities or the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (or queer)+ community. The article concludes with an examination of the 5 articles included in the Special Issue and how each incorporated EBRVs into affirmative care practice.
