Families and youth from the Northern Triangle of Central America seeking asylum in the U.S. report substantial trauma exposure and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Sexual and gender minorities of this population especially present unique circumstances and thus challenges and needs. However, with immigration along the southern U.S. border at a 21-year high, health and social resources for refugees and asylum seekers are being strained. Accordingly, the primary aim of this review is to raise awareness about migration-related trauma and the mental health needs among Central American and LGBTQ + refugees and asylum seekers in the U.S.–Mexico border. The authors also discuss practical, clinical, and advocacy implications to improve the mental health of refugees and asylum seekers entering the United States.

来自中美洲北部三角洲的家庭和青年在美国寻求庇护时报告了严重的创伤经历和创伤后应激症状。这一人群中的性和性别少数群体尤其面临着独特的环境，因此面临着挑战和需求。然而，随着美国南部边境的移民人数达到 21 年来的最高水平，难民和寻求庇护者的健康和社会资源正变得紧张。因此，本综述的主要目的是提高美墨边境中美洲和 LGBTQ+ 难民和寻求庇护者对移民相关创伤和心理健康需求的认识。作者还讨论了改善进入美国的难民和寻求庇护者心理健康的实际、临床和宣传意义。
