Share Resource

We are lucky to be joined by the incredible Vanessa Bowen to discuss Identity, Sexuality and LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care. We unpack the impact of movie culture in the 90s and 2000s on our perception of sexuality, the impact of COVID on exploring our identity and some key things happening across Australia to increase positive representation of the rainbow community.We hope that the biggest takeaway from this episode is when it comes to positive representation there is more to be done. We encourage everyone to commit to a supportive, inclusive community free from discrimination and exclusion.You can learn more about Vanessa’s work in the affirming care space at fairywrencounselling.com

Yes, we have culturally competent counsellors available, including those able to work with first nation and CALD employees.

Onshore on secure AWS Servers in Sydney Australia. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest and our entire team is located in Australia.

Employees can access our platform on any device (mobile, laptop, desktop, etc.) as long you have the website link - no need to download any app on devices. You wouldn’t need to enrol any of your staff individually.- When we do our onboarding, we ask for the first name, last name and email of all your employees, and send out an email invite to all them which will allow them to create their own individual account to access the platform. For new staff we can also invite them or provide you with a unique link to embed in your onboarding process, whichever is more convenient for you. We also kick things off with a launch webinar or video to make sure everyone is aware of Foremind and how to use it. We’ll also provide you with any collateral such as posters, QR codes, brochures etc. to help drive awareness and encourage people to create an account in the platform.

The support line is answered by our reception service 24/7. It is for urgent platform or session-related issues only (e.g. *“My counsellor didn’t show”*) or helping staff create an account.
