Short presentation

I'm a PhD student. I am associated to CIRCLE and U-CARE, http://www.u-care.uu.se/. The goal with U-CARE is to increase wellbeing among patients and close ones struck by somatic disease.

Research

My research focuses on psychosocial health and well-being among forced migrants who identify as LGBTQ+. It explores the intersectional challenges they face and how they can be supported after arriving in Sweden. The project involves co-producing a peer-support intervention together with the target group, based on their preferences and needs throughout the development of the intervention.
