Examining the potential applicability of the minority stress model for explaining suicidality in individuals with disabilities.

Emily M Lund
Published in: Rehabilitation psychology (2021)
The minority stress model is potentially useful for conceptualizing the higher rates of suicidality among people with disabilities, both alone and in conjunction with other models of suicide, in a manner that addresses disability justice and the experiences and effects of chronic, pervasive marginalization. Recommendations for research, and policy, including strategies for addressing both internalized ableism and disability-related discrimination and harassment, are provided.
