Being the parent of a sexual and/or gender minority individual can prove to be a complex process, with both challenges and opportunities for growth. To date, there has been limited positive psychology research in the LGBTQIA+ community and the field has been criticized for this omission. The current study addressed this gap by examining the effects of a strengths-based parenting (SBP) intervention on the experiences of parents of LGBTQIA+ individuals for two key outcomes: 1) psychological growth in parents and 2) strengthening of the parent-child relationship. Given the newness of this topic, an in-depth qualitative research design was chosen. The sample comprised eight parents from Lima, Peru who went through a 6-week intervention that feature three components: (1) parents learning how to identify and use their own strengths in their parenting role, (2) parents learning to notice and apply their own and their child’s strengths (3) parents applying their own and their child’s strengths to deal with minority stress. Semi-structured interviews, conducted before and after the intervention, were analyzed through deductive thematic analysis. Themes around parent psychological growth included the role of strengths in connecting with new aspects of oneself, forming new social networks, and learning to reconcile belief systems with the child’s identity. Themes related to the parent-child bond included noticing and using strengths to navigate challenges as a unit and increased positive emotions within the parent-child relationship. While this research provides insight into strengths-based approaches being applied in a LGBTQIA+ context, the implications have relevance for the application of positive psychology to other minority groups and to broader family systems.
