About this trial

This is a two-part study to develop and test a brief, virtual therapy program for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people who have experienced trauma and use alcohol.

Phase 1: You'll be invited to share your perspective to help make the program relevant, inclusive, and affirming.

Phase 2: You may have the opportunity to try the adapted program by receiving free virtual therapy with LGBTQ+-affirming therapists.
