Description
This module introduces learners to the concept of allyship and being an ally to the consumer workforce. Learners will explore why allies are critical for consumer workers, what it means to be an ally in practice, and a range of challenges and opportunities for allyship. The course will reflect on allyship in other marginalised communities and include pragmatic strategies to apply in everyday situations. This course is designed for clinicians, members of the carer workforce and other non-consumers working in the mental health sector.Trainers
