Introduction <p>Research shows that perceived safety in the face of sociopolitical stress is linked to negative mental health outcomes among LGBTQ + individuals, such as increased levels of anxiety and depression. Supportive family environments (e.g., increased caregiver acceptance), as well as personal strengths (e.g., resilience) have been identified as protective factors against the negative impact of sociopolitical stress among LGBTQ + young people. However, no previous study has explored how caregiver acceptance and resilience may mediate the relationship between perceived safety and well-being during politically charged times, such as the 2024 United States presidential election.</p> Methods <p>The current study tested a parallel mediation model among 460 LGBTQ + young adults (<i>M</i>_age = 21.6) residing in the United States leading up to the 2024 election (between June and July 2024).</p> Results <p>Findings indicated that perceived safety leading up to the 2024 election was significantly positively associated with both resilience and caregiver acceptance, which in turn were significantly positively linked to psychological well-being. Furthermore, caregiver acceptance and resilience completely mediated the relationship between perceived election safety and psychological well-being.</p> Conclusion <p>These results suggest that promoting resilience and fostering accepting family environments may serve as key strategies for promoting the well-being of LGBTQ + young adults in the context of politically uncertain and stressful times. This study emphasizes the importance of inclusive policies and advocacy efforts that enhance LGBTQ + visibility, safety, and legal protections to foster well-being and resilience, particularly amid sociopolitical stressors.</p>
