Bi-Cultural Allyship Through the Lens of Griefology - Mt Gambier and Western Victoria

Join the Healing Centre for Griefology in Mt Gambier for Rosemary Wanganeen's groundbreaking workshop "Bi-Cultural Allyship: Creating Culturally Safer Workplaces"!

Bi-cultural allyship is the conscious commitment to understanding, respecting, and actively supporting the strengths, values, and perspectives of both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal cultures in fostering meaningful collaboration and equity. 

This one day workshop encourages Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal colleagues to attend Rosemary Wanganeen’s Bi-Cultural Allyship-Through the Lens of Griefology. You will gain profound insights from her three decades of designing and delivering workshops and providing a unique EAP counselling model called Griefology.

She has supported Aboriginal clients in navigating the impacts of racially motivated comments and behaviours, cultural overload & fatigue and biases, empowering them to become their own advocates. A recurring sentiment from many Aboriginal clients is, “I just want to go to work and leave with my Aboriginal identity and pride intact.” 

This program is designed to go beyond cultural awareness, whereby both groups will become consciously aware of the need to create culturally safe work environments and reduce cultural overload and cultural fatigue amongst Aboriginal colleagues. Aboriginal colleagues will feel culturally safe and inclusive to foster mutual respect, rapport, mutual collaboration for retention, and long-term engagement. As a highly competent facilitator and therapist, Rosemary merges her communication skills with a shared empathy and understanding for all.

• To Advocate for Social Justice

“The session encouraged us to reflect on our own thinking and actions while offering pathways for personal growth through practices like reading, ancestor reconnection, creative expression, and bushcraft. We appreciated the emphasis on fostering confidence and independence and the call to create safe spaces for staff to examine their identities and attitudes.” - Testimonial from Nunayara CEO
