Abstract
ABSTRACT Hispanic sexual minority men (HSMM) experience various forms of oppression based on both their ethnic and sexual identities, resulting in disproportionately high rates of psychiatric distress. Despite recognition of these elevated distress levels, there exists a significant gap in scholarly literature that examines the intersectionality of these experiences, their complexities, and their impact on HSMM mental health. Social workers, despite being adept at addressing issues faced by marginalized individuals, often approach each identity in isolation, neglecting the compounded effect of intersecting identities. This practice corner emphasizes the importance of understanding the intersecting identities of HSMM and its influence on their mental health. It also discusses culturally responsive strategies for clinicians to address these specific challenges.
