Group One Advocates’ Post

We need to be honest as a country about the ongoing, widespread issue of racism faced by so many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, families and communities on an individual and systemic basis.

Given these experiences in basic customer service situations it’s not hard to imagine how such experiences of racism might flow on to become barriers to accessing all types of services. Important to see this as work for all of us to do in mainstream services to look to Aboriginal leaders and organisations for guidance on how to create culturally safe mental health services and environments. Important reading here from National Indigenous Times especially for those leading and working in the human, health and social services sector. Strongly recommend following NIT if you don’t already.
