LGB & T workers and mental health

This is a new guide for trade union reps about mental health issues and how lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people can be affected in the workplace. It reveals that mental health issues can be even more challenging for LGBT people than the rest of the population. This has a huge bearing on LGBT people in the workplace – the employment rate for all those with mental health problems is only 10 per cent – and the TUC guide explores the reality of the situation, why problems arise, and how best union reps can respond.
