With the interest and positive feedback received from our recent webinar Pride without Prejudice: Multicultural Insights into LGBTQ+ Wellbeing and Experiences, we decided to run a part 2 session - with a further collection of speakers sharing from their own lived and professional experiences and expertise.
Join us for a conversation, to deepen your understanding of the wellbeing and experiences of multicultural LGBTQ+ people in Australia, and to consider how this can inform your own practice and personal development journey.
Themes that will be explored:
- Drawing strength and pride from yourself and your culture
- Navigating marginalisation from two (or more) intersectionalities
- Addressing barriers multicultural LGBTQ+ people experience to accessing treatment
- How services and providers can be more inclusive and welcoming
- How to encounter and hold prejudice, safely.
NOTE: Viewing the first webinar is not a prerequisite to joining, and new content will be explored.
When? Tuesday, 10th September at 1:00 - 2:00 pm (AEST)
