Rainbow rangatahi (young people of diverse genders, sexualities, and sex characteristics) are overrepresented in statistics relating to bullying, family rejection, homelessness and negative mental health outcomes. Many rainbow young people report concerns that helping professionals will be discriminatory or will respond with surprise and discomfort when they seek support or assistance. Now more than ever professionals and the organisations they work for need to better understand and respond to the specific vulnerabilities of this diverse community of young people.

Join clinical psychologists Dr. Gloria Fraser and Lucy McLean for this informative, practical and positive workshop. Participants will leave with an increased understanding, and a kete of inclusive and practical tools which can be implemented immediately into your work (and organisation) to create a safe, affirming and effective space for rainbow rangatahi.
