In France, there are no studies on the mental health of lesbian, gay, bi, trans and intersex (LGBTI) migrants. In North America however, some data show high prevalence for mental issues in this population.
This study analyze mental health needs of LGBTI migrants and document the care and support for those needs in two French cities, with a socio-anthropological approach.
LGBTI migrants suffer from numerous mental issues linked with their migration and their sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIE). Those sources of violence are imbricated and fuel each other. It is mainly as migrants that LGBTI are taken care of by State services devoted to precarious people, even though some LGBTI associations propose a different kind of community support.
LGBTI migrants deal with the same deficits in mental health services than other migrants, but have also specific difficulties. The development of support group for this minority helps with those difficulties and ultimately questions the strengths and limits of community-based approach to mental health.
在法国，尚无关于女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和双性人（LGBTI）移民心理健康的研究。然而在北美，一些数据显示该人群中精神问题的患病率很高。
本研究采用社会人类学方法，分析LGBTI移民的心理健康需求，并记录法国两个城市针对这些需求所提供的护理和支持。
LGBTI移民遭受着与移民经历以及性取向、性别认同和表达（SOGIE）相关的诸多精神问题。这些暴力源头相互交织、相互助长。LGBTI主要是以移民身份接受为不稳定人群提供服务的国家机构的照料，尽管一些LGBTI协会提供了不同类型的社区支持。
LGBTI移民在心理健康服务方面面临与其他移民相同的不足，但也有特殊困难。为这一少数群体建立支持小组有助于解决这些困难，并最终引发了对基于社区的心理健康方法的优势和局限性的思考。
