24.01.2022 The time for inclusive care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQ+ young people is now by colleague Bep Uink & others is out now. 5 years after starting my Inclusive Practices workshop, it’s great to see the evidence supporting such work. inclusivepractices.com.au

19.01.2022 Fredback from this week’s online session. I just did the Indigenous LGBTIQ+SB suicide prevention training and it has given me a drive to do more. I currently hold the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander portfolio and identify as Aboriginal and I identify as a member of queer mob. I am asking if we could work together and organize some more training for myself and my co-workers. The more training we could get for staff would be great. Especially in regards to Indigenous LGBTIQ+SB communities as there is nothing like that down here. I hope to hear from you soon. Was deadly having the privilege of doing the training yesterday. Black Rainbow and yourself are doing AMAZING work. I would also like to acquire as much resources from use as possible, posters, flyers, information etc.

In this session I will highlight why this particular marginalised group is at a heightened risk of suicide, looking at risk factors that are specific to Indigenous and LGBTIQ+ people independently and explain how these intersect.

I will discuss the how my report 'Voices of the Black Rainbow' and my first of its kind Indigenous Queer Cultural Competency training Inclusive Practices - developed in 2015 - has been a catalyst for three research projects currently underway that focus on the Indigenous LGBQTI+SB.

Here’s an overview of the content https://www.eventbrite.com/e/indigenous-lgbtiqsb-suicide-pr# Comments and feedback:...
