🧑🏻🏫It’s and today Den is speaking straight to all of the supervisors out there (or the supervisees who want their supervisors to be across all of the new things going on!!).
Supervision can be a really tough gig, and we want to make you feel as confident as possible understanding governance, managing changes and tackling the curly questions! So we’ve built this Deep Dive to help you tackle all of the above and answer your burning questions!
🏳️⚧️ In the face of Queensland’s renewed ban on puberty blockers for people under 18, it’s easy to feel despair. But our hope and commitment to trans and gender diverse young people remains unshaken.
If there's two things we know, it's that affirming care saves lives, and community saves lives.
We, alongside so many incredible community members and allies will keep fighting for a future where evidence-based, compassionate, identity-affirming care is the standard, not the exception. But for today, please take care of yourself and check in on each other. 🏳️⚧️

💜 As we approach Intersex Awareness Day this Sunday, let’s keep building spaces that celebrate bodily diversity, challenge stigma, and honour everyone's right to self-definition.
For , we've written some prompts for your reflection in the hopes that we can all be that little bit more aware and inclusive for the intersex community.
As therapists, we can:
💛 Use accurate, affirming language
💜 Stay informed about intersex human rights and advocacy
💛 Examine how our forms, frameworks, and unconscious biases might exclude someone who is intersex
💜 Stand alongside intersex people in calling for bodily autonomy and justice
Even if you aren't a therapist, it's important to make sure everyone feels welcome! Let's make sure every intersex person knows they truly belong. 💛

🤝 Inclusion isn’t an aesthetic or marketing tactic, it’s accountability. 🤝
It’s the small, daily choices to listen, learn, and make space for every body, identity, and experience. It’s how we create safety, belonging, and dignity in our therapy rooms, workplaces, schools and communities.
We believe that iinclusion isn’t about ticking boxes! It’s about building a culture where every person can be seen, heard, and affirmed as they are. We want to encourage everyone to keep practising inclusion, even (and especially) when it feels uncomfortable. Because your discomfort may just give someone incredible a seat at the table!

🐳 You may have noticed that our upcoming live training offerings are ✨ DEEP DIVES ✨ which is definitely common language around Haven, but we thought this we would share a surface explanation of why we love a deep dive, and what you might just takeaway from one! 🐳

Recently, I was asked to think of one word that reflected my current stage in life. Straight away, DESPITE came to mind. Despite a traumatic upbringing, poverty, bullying, and self-hatred, I survived. Despite constant hurts, put-downs, and poor decisions by myself, or others, I survived. Despite my rocky start to life, I learnt that not everyone was out to hurt me or hated me. Despite my youthful impulsiveness, my willingness to cut my nose to spite my face, and stand by my foolishness. Despite the appeal of “bad boys”, I met the guy who would become the man who changed my life by showing me what trust, safety, and unconditional love actually meant - the way I needed to be shown.
Despite my chaotic upbringing, my husband and I gave our gorgeous little boy, and precious baby girl a solid and stable home, filled with love, laughter, Light and Truth. Despite my belief that I was stupid, ugly, and dumb I learnt to believe otherwise.
Despite the fact I had poor memory, attention and concentration because of my traumas, I managed to get through a four-year psychology degree full-time whilst raising a family. It certainly wasn’t easy. In fact it was the hardest thing I had ever done. I had to learn to keep the bullying thoughts at bay . I had to stop listening to the voices inside my mind screaming for me to revert to the thoughts of that scared little girl. I had to put my big girl panties on, manage a household, love and manage my family, and eventually, mother teenagers - another potential trigger right there!
Despite life’s usual setbacks and moving our young family across Australia where we knew not a single soul, I managed to complete a Masters degree in Psychology. Despite a hiccup to my professional career due to unexpected PTSD triggers and flashbacks, I finally arrive at my current stage in life. From existing, surviving, living, to thriving.
Despite it all, I learnt peace, love and compassion. For myself - WOW, WOW, WOW!!
You’ve now got an idea of my background and my beautiful family, so allow me introduce my third baby.
