— LGBTIQ+ and Lived Experience Leadership
About
Facilitated by Elle Cartmill, Unrevealed Leaders is part storytelling, part workshop. The webinar includes five stories of unrevealed leadership within the LGBTIQ+ community woven together by Elle’s reflections. The webinar invites you to reflect on your own story of leadership and how we can begin to recognise and support peer leaders within the LGBTIQ+ community better.
About
With seed funding provided by the Mental Health Commission NSW, in 2019 ACON trained a group of sexuality and gender diverse people with lived experience of mental distress to advocate and represent their communities, with a goal to shift mental health service cultures and assumptions. The Rainbow Mental Health Lived Experience Network was formed.
The Rainbow Mental Health Network is a group of sexuality and gender diverse individuals with lived experience of mental distress. The Network currently comprises 32 people from across NSW, including Sydney, Western Sydney, Hunter, South Coast, Northern Rivers and Murrumbidgee regions. As a network of individuals with lived experience of mental distress, The Rainbow Mental Health Lived Experience Network gives the broader mental health sector an increased capacity to engage with people of diverse genders and sexualities in processes of service co-design, consultation work, and focus groups.
