The following toolkit is designed for any mental health practitioners working across remote, rural or regional NSW who wish to understand more about working with LGBTQIA+SB people and have not completed speciality training.
A NOTE ON LANGUAGE: The Peregrine Centre recognises and values the diversity of LGBTQIA+SB communities. While this toolkit contains information on how to navigate language, individuals may have their own preferences. In practice, listen and reflect the language of the person. If in doubt, ask their preferences.
This resource was developed for the Rural Mental Health Partnership by Dr Dayle Raftery (Clinical Psychologist) at The Peregrine Centre. The Rural Mental Health Partnership is funded by NSW Health. We thank Kiara Dove at Birdy Psychology, Sparrow Katekar, regional identified LGBTQIA+SB Domestic and Family Violence Worker at Newcastle Women’s Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service, and The Ministry of Health for their valuable contributions to this resource
The following resource is designed for mental health practitioners working in rural or regional NSW.
This is an introductory toolkit to working with individuals who are LGBTQIA+SB and is not exhaustive nor designed as a treatment manual. We encourage all practitioners who are working with LGBTQIA+SB individuals to seek specialised training and engage in supervision.
