Description
Topic: LGBTIQ Intersect, A NEW ONLINE LEARNING RESOURCESpeakers: Silvana Izzo and Lotus Ye (Victorian Transcultural Mental Health, St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne)
VTMH led the co-design and co-production of the LGBTIQ Intersect website. This innovative resource is designed for community members and practitioners alike, to start conversations and develop a deeper understanding of the experiences of individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ), multicultural, and/or multifaith. The resource includes key concepts for culturally responsive practice, learning modules, and stories of lived experience.
Silvana and Lotus will explain the process so far and discuss future education and networking opportunities.
