Young people who identify as trans or non-binary (NBT) are at risk of various forms of discrimination, abuse and violence from members of their family or those around them. The aim of this article is to: 1) draw up a portrait of young people from New Brunswick who have experienced one or more types of abuse; 2) identify the specific context of this violence and its repercussions on the well-being of young people from New Brunswick. The data were collected as part of the Canadian Trans and Non-Binary Youth Health Survey (CTNYHS), which will be conducted across the country in 2019. The sample consists of 220 young people aged 14 to 25 living in the province of Quebec. T-test and Chi-square analyses were carried out. They showed that almost half the sample had experienced sexual violence (44.1%) and almost 20% had been physically injured by a family member, a phenomenon more common among 14 to 17 year-olds (34.2%) than among 18 to 25 year-olds (14.6%). Controlling for age, there was a significant association between family ties and the likelihood of being a victim (p < .001) or witness (p = .03) of violence involving a family member. The results of the online survey are consistent with various studies highlighting the abuse and violence experienced by young people from sexual minorities.
