Safe & Affirmed is a series of resources to support clinicians and youth mental health workers to provide affirming care to the young people they work with.
This project is a follow-on from our Child & Adolescent Mental Health training project where we delivered training on the topic to Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services / Child & Youth Mental Health Services workers and educators in every local health district in NSW.

Safe & Affirmed Guidesheets
Safe & Affirmed Guidesheets is a series of five online resources to support clinicians and youth mental health workers to provide affirming care to the young people they work with.
Each guidesheet shares key messages on the five practice areas in our Safe + Affirmed: Working With LGBTIQA+ Young people training. This training was originally delivered to Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services/Child & Youth Mental Health Services workers and educators in every local health district in NSW. These practice areas are:
- Gender affirming care in mental health settings
- LGBTIQA+ young people’s experiences of family of origin violence, abuse & neglect
- Eating disorders and gender diversity
- Neurodivergence and gender diversity
- Supporting families, parents & carers of LGBTIQA+ young people
