Good afternoon folks - I'm forwarding this reminder notice on behalf of the College of Community Psychologists (Victoria),


Now that most of you will be home next week anyway, here's your chance to get something fabulous from the week!

Find out how the good intentions of a "diversity and inclusion" approach to identity may simply reinforce exclusion and othering.

How conscious are you of subtle factors in your approach that may empower or inadvertently disempower your clients? How do you address the intersecting nature of multiple layers of oppression in your work? How can you put complex topics such as decolonisation and intersectionality into practice?


This interactive webinar will discuss a decolonised position of multicultural perspectives in counselling and psychology and the importance of understanding mental health through a social justice framework.

Join Dr Susan Sisko for this powerful, practical session.  You may never think about your work the same way again.



Susan is passionate about changing the debate in the field by moving away from cultural competence based on a Eurocentric position and focus on social justice and systemic issues - ultimately shifting blame from vulnerable and non-dominant groups to exploring systemics issues as related to quality of care and the inequity gap in accessing mental health services.


Don't miss it!
