Diversity and Inclusion: Impacts on Psychological Wellbeing Among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Communities

Introduction

Globally, schools perform an essential role in enabling students to acquire college credentials and knowledge, become familiar with the culture, learn about interpersonal relationships, ideals, and standards, and develop survival skills and expertise abilities (Skovdal and Campbell, ).

LGBTQ Mental Health Research Group

The LGBTQ Mental Health Investigate Group is a leading research unit that aims to advance scientific knowledge about the causes of mental health problems among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) people and use that knowledge to develop new and better treatments.

We work with community, patient, and partner organisations including our clinical colleagues in the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and many national and international collaborators.

Our aims are:

  • To study biological, psychological and social factors which contribute to the mental health of LGBTQ+ people.
  • To apply the findings from this research to grow interventions to reduce mental health problems in LGBTQ+ people.
  • We also conduct scientific research to increase our understanding about the origins and development of sexual and gender minority identities, sexual interests, and sexuality in general.
  • To use methods from experimental psychology, clinical and health psychology, genetics, biology, epidemiology and neurosci

    Current Opportunity: Doctoral Award Studentship

    Expressions of interest are being invited for a  White Rose College of the Arts and Humanities AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award (CDA) Studentship being led by York Law School, University of York and the Pride in Ageing programme, LGBT Foundation. 

    The month “Passing on the Torch” project will address the following key research question:

    How can arts-based facilitated intergenerational dialogue promote the transmission of LGBTQ+ experiences, histories, cultural memories and insights and wisdoms about resilience, resistance and activism aimed at addressing legal and social oppressions? 

    The research will involve mapping relevant legislation across the past 60 years, whilst drawing on an extensive literature review, empirical data collection via arts-based focus groups with single- and cross- generational groups of LGBTQ+ people, analysis of primary data and dissemination via a range of outputs.
