Awareness of peer victimization and resilience among LGBT youth is important to the practice of competent school psychologists. Research illustrates the negative effects attributable to peer victimization and social risk. This paper highlights how building resiliency and fostering protective factors can help reduce peer victimization and its deleterious effects on LGBT students. Building and facilitating resiliency through fostering protective factors can be done in numerous ways and school psychologists can be key stakeholders in these efforts.
