Relate to Others with Confidence is a hardcover guidebook for LGBTQIA+ people and people with a different label or no label, listed under Psychology Books by A Lee Beckstead. It addresses minority stress, discrimination, rejection, and conflict through skills for social resilience, assertiveness, and relationships.

Part of the LGBTQIA+ Peacemaking Book Project, it accompanies Feel Secure in Yourself and twelve self-published e-resources. The two guidebooks were published by Rowman & Littlefield. Each chapter has 4-15 coauthors with differing, sometimes politically opposing viewpoints.

Over 120 scholars, clinicians, and community leaders contributed to the project to find common ground, reduce prejudice, and improve LGBTQIA+ health and self-development. Written for the general public, the resources may also be used by academics, clinicians, researchers, religious leaders, parents, and other providers.

They discuss sexuality, gender, race and ethnicity, faith and purpose, emotional health, resilience, and relationships for readers across political viewpoints. The project aims to support identity development, build community, and help readers navigate differences and resolve conflicts. SKU sku-5359214864.
