Workshop 1:
Sharing stories, support and solidarity:
A deep dive into recognising our unconscious biases
Upcoming workshop: May 2024 (Sydney)
This in-person workshop will be centered upon the sharing of the presenter’s stories of lived experiences of adversity as an introduction to help Allied Health Practitioners better understand the very real challenges faced by their participants and peers as a result of their intersectional identity. A reframing perspective will also be offered to recognise the potential strength of appropriately drawing upon challenging life experiences to authentically support their clinical delivery. Delegates will be encouraged to engage in practical learning in this workshop through discussion, musicking and visual art expression. The key concepts explored in this workshop include the impact of intersectionality, unconscious biases, oppression, privilege, and considerations for authentic allyship. Delegates will also be encouraged to more deeply consider their important role in advocacy which is beyond the profession itself: they will work together to come up with tangible ideas of how they can both individually and collectively develop a greater awareness of how more appropriately support their peers and participants who experience adversity.
Workshop 2:
