Dr. Manijeh Badiee at the California State University (San Bernadino) is studying the experiences of BIPOC people in polyamorous relationships who seek mental health counseling or therapy. This is very important research on a group that has been too long overlooked, and if you are a BIPOC polyamorous person you don’t need me to tell you that, but you might want to participate in this research! Check out the details below:
Although there are over 80 scientific studies on polyamory, this is the first focused on how BIPOC* practice polyamory. Participation is open to all polyamorous BIPOC adults who live in the US. Please share anything you would like about how being BIPOC influences your experience of polyamory and therapy needs. Results will be used to educate therapists, improve mental health services, and increase access for polyamorous BIPOC individuals. The online study will take 10-30 minutes and you will receive a $10 Amazon gift card for completing it. The goal is to obtain a diverse sample, so please share widely.

If you answered yes to these questions, you are invited to participate in an online study of BIPOC’s experiences of polyamory and therapy needs.
