Queer persons face a multitude of unique life stressors that influence their well-being in diverse ways (Ranade and Chakravarty, 2013). In the workplace specifically, they tend to face very high levels of work-related stress (Sridhar, Mariwala, and Ravi, 2021). The workplace can contribute significantly to the psychosocial distress of LGBTQIA+ employees and our project not only recognizes the marginalization within this space but also the potential for structural change and support. Queerclusive is a queer-led initiative funded by ARROW Malaysia and hosted at Sangath Bhopal, working to support the psychosocial needs of queer and trans people in the workplace.
This project explores queer and trans mental health within the ecology of the workplace and hopes to connect gender and sexually diverse employees at the Sangath Bhopal to resources for psychosocial support and simultaneously work towards creating an affirmative and sensitive environment. We hope to foster shifts in the work culture and contribute to the well-being of LGBTQIA+ employees.
