'It feels meaningful': How informal mental health caregivers in an LGBTQ community interpret their work and their role
Cult Health Sex. 2023 Sep 14:1-16. doi: 10.1080/13691058.2023.2256833. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany members of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, and queer (LGBTQ) communities provide informal mental health support to peers. This type of support is valuable for people who receive it - even helping to prevent suicide. It is also meaningful to those who provide it. In this article, we focus on how LGBTQ people derive meaning from their experiences of supporting peers. In-depth interviews with 25 LGBTQ people in Melbourne, Australia, indicate that those providing informal mental health support to fellow c...

Money, chores and emotional support: Kenyan and Zambian fathers' perceptions of male partner involvement in maternal and infant health within the context of HIV
Cult Health Sex. 2023 Sep 11:1-16. doi: 10.1080/13691058.2023.2249078. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn sub-Saharan Africa, involving male partners in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV improves maternal and infant outcomes. Male involvement is typically conceptualised as male partners attending antenatal care, which is difficult for many men. Little is known about how men view their involvement in family health within the context of HIV, particularly outside of clinic attendance. Through interviews with 35 male partners of pregnant or postpartum women living with HIV in Kenya and Zambia, this study elic...
