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. More details on the attached flier.


 2)  Hopefully you were one of more than 100 who saw Dr Lyn O'Grady's session on working with and preventing child suicide last month.

If not, you can still purchase a ticket to see the recording on:   https://www.psychology.org.au/Event/22459<http://be.psychology.org.au/ls/click?upn=xftCvoRZRbcW1HUP8zfNNCqFyqCAJs4gBnt4bANyPNecgyW5IYBkeT1gSLV9UJkviZa5eCnxNRW-2FBiwxFDLjLA-3D-3DdoM5_LkNaGjuMCrzJijP9uh5w51wVkQcRLq1ZICyrjgtqsTvJIza97ylQw822FqpYcb7AYLHKE407K4ll-2FCM2Rd9pwN6QUFoKjcIh-2FrTAoseWw5Xb-2FE4k-2BIevqzumglVdvSAsrECTivsaaTtluD-2BU3xFc4VJWCZtjjjqfPgldLycn2RKwf0Sfu4th4Kr2REwhstOymauLfF0ch4dG4vgq33iZcO5E8YS1YL7szz4zRVGuJf4-3D>


We will hold off our Social Event until the end of the year as we don't want to trigger another lockdown too soon. :-)


See you around the traps.

Kind regards,
