Trauma care for-and-by queer survivors! ❤️‍🩹

Announcing our new research project: King’s College London X NEUROMANCERS!

Are you a queer woman or gender non-conforming person with lived experience of trauma? 

Join our co-design team to create trauma care by-and-for our community! 

About the Project

This is a co-design research project to collaboratively create a care programme for queer women and gender diverse trauma survivors.

This project is in collaboration with PhD student Abbey Brunault (she/they), whose work focuses on improving mental health care approaches for queer women and gender diverse trauma survivors. They are a lived experience researcher whose work is rooted in feminist and liberation approaches to trauma care.  

What is co-design?

This is a research approach that brings together lived experience, lived expertise, cultural knowledge and professional experience to learn from each other, create something new, and share decision-making power.  

This project seeks to create care that: 

• Centres the lived knowledge of queer trauma survivors and our historic power care for each other.

• Addresses the ways that social and political oppression impact the way we experience and heal from trauma.

• Recognises the harm that many marginalised people have experienced from therapists and medical professionals.

This project might be for you…

• if you meet the below criteria;

• are aligned with our values of autonomous, abolitionist, and accessible mental health care;

• are interested in creating something that better supports you, your peers, and your community.

We’re recruiting Lived Experience Experts and Lived Experience Healers.

🤑This is a paid opportunity: you’ll be compensated £250 for your time. Plant-based lunch, a travel stipend, and care package will also be provided. !🤑

Details:

📅When: Sunday, Jan. 25th 11am-5pm + Sunday, Feb. 8th 11am-5pm

📍Where: The Feminist Library (London)

🧠What: You’ll take part in two half-day workshops which include brainstorming, creative storytelling, self-reflection, and shared decision-making to co-create a care programme for queer women and gender diverse trauma survivors.

About the Role 🤔

NEUROMANCERS is looking for an experienced graphic designer to create a custom and original zine (for both digital and printing) which summarises the findings from our upcoming co-design research project.

This research, a collaboration between NEUROMANCERS x King’s College London, explores "trauma care by-and-for queer women and gender diverse people".

Across up-to seventy five (75) hours spread over three (3) months, you will have the opportunity to develop and design a zine which explores the research findings. We are interested in bold and radical graphic design approaches that embody our values of abolition, autonomy and accessibility.

Experience:

• Experience creating digital and printable zines.

• Experience creating art that is educational, political, liberation/abolition-focused, or centres queer/trans experience.

• Demonstrable ability to summarise a large scope of information in accessible and digestible visual formats.

• Experience of self-directed and/or freelance graphic design work.

• We are particularly open to applications from people who have a personal connection to this work – LGBTQ+ women/gender diverse people with lived experience of trauma.  

Responsibilities:

• Attend the in-person (London) co-design workshops on the following dates to observe the research process, create notes, summaries, and reflections, and build relationships with our co-design community:

  1. 25th January 2026, 11am-5pm

  2. 8th February 2026, 11am-5pm

• Attend up to four (4) remote meetings with NEUROMANCERS and the research team to discuss the content, design, and progress of the zine.

• Engage in up to four (4) rounds of feedback regarding the design and development of the zine.

• Collaborate with NEUROMANCERS and the research team on the theme(s) and written content of the zine. Examples of potential themes may be queer community, collective action, healing from trauma, and similar.

• Create images and arrange text, descriptions, and quotes to be included in the zine that represent the theme(s).

• Design the zine, incorporating both written and visual content, based on the determined theme(s). The final version must be suitable for printing and digital viewing.

Alongside the above, we expect all those working within NEUROMANCERS to be...

• Self-identified as neurodivergent+

• Organised, responsible, and reliable communicators

• Able to navigate technology such as email and web meetings

• Aligned with NEUROMANCERS’ goals and values

• Knowledgeable about non-clinical peer support practices, Disability Justice, prison, police, and psychiatric abolition, and the neurodiversity paradigm

• Committed to anti-racism, LGBTQ+ rights, anti-speciesism, anti-ableism, and total liberation for all
