twenty10 – a place to be you

Supporting you to provide a safe and supportive service

Twenty10's training package, Here And Now, offers you the opportunity to consider how you can best provide a safe and welcoming service where young people feel safe to be themselves. The package introduces you to the latest research and thinking around sexual and gender identity and makes some helpful suggestions around what you can do when working with young people of diverse genders and sexualities.

Here and Now is tailored to the needs of your service or your local community. The package is particularly beneficial to regional communities - where participants come from a range of community and health services, schools, police and local residents.

We also offer specialised training at more advanced levels or can tailor or training to meet the needs of an in-service within a particular organisation. We are keen to explore what your needs may be, so contact us to talk about what is possible.

What are the outcomes of the training?

Here and Now will assist participants to:

• Understand what gender and sexual identities are and how they are developed
• Identify common themes and issues for young people of diverse genders and sexualities
• Identify homophobic and heterosexist practices and proactively challenge homophobic actions and statements
• Identify strategies for building cultural appropriateness into their work practices
• Identify resources and services to use with clients and workers
• Develop a workplan to transform your learnings into actions

Participants become Here and Now Alumni and are offered specialised support from Twenty10 in implementing the strategies that emerge from the program.
