Transfolk WA's Adult Peer Support Group Facilitator Alex Beck-Busetti (they/them) will be supporting CoMHWA's Jeannie Williams (she/her) to deliver these workshops.

There are four stand-alone workshops in the series, so you can attend all or some of them, depending on your interest and availability.

💜 Wear It Purple Day 💜

Today, we celebrate diversity, show support, and raise awareness to help build a world where every young person feels safe, accepted and valued.

Wear It Purple Day is an opportunity to stand with LGBTQIA+SB young people and remind them that they are not alone. Everyone deserves to feel safe, loved, respected, and to feel that they belong.

Start conversations, challenge discrimination, listen to young people, and take time to learn and reflect, to help create welcoming spaces that help build a more inclusive community.

We recommend you head to https://www.rainbowknowledge.org/roadmap and check out the Walkern Katatdjin Roadmap - The Roadmap sets out how we can work together to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQIA+ young people to thrive. The end goal of the Roadmap is simple: to empower individuals, families, communities, services, and governments to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQIA+ young people are safe, healthy, and thriving.

When we make the world safer for the most marginalised young people in our communities, we make the world safer for all young people.
