VIDEO PROJECT

The next part of the ReThink the Drink project will include videos featuring women sharing their personal stories. These stories can be about your personal experiences with drinking, how it has affected your life and what strategies you have used to reduce the amount you drink. Alternatively, your story may be about your thoughts on why you think lesbian, bisexual and queer women (trans and gender diverse inclusive) drink at higher levels than heterosexual women.

What we know is that sharing our personal stories can be very empowering for not only ourselves but for other women too. If you would like more information about getting involved in the ReThink the Drink video project contact rachel.cook@thorneharbour.org

Silver Rainbow Training Expands to Better Support LGBTIQ+ Elders

Since Thorne Harbour Health began delivering Silver Rainbow Training (SRT) sessions in late April 2025, we’ve keenly worked to support Aged Care professionals in understanding the unique challenges faced by LGBTIQ+ elders.Participants have left our sessions with their eyes open to issues and situations that hadn’t previously occurred to them and enjoy having their perspectives challenged so they are more sensitive to the needs of LGBTIQ+ elders. Feedback following Silver Rainbow Training suggests that staff feel more able to deliver holistic care to their clients.In the past two months, we’ve conducted one online and six face-to-face SRT sessions, some of which included HIV 101 education components delivered by our HIV peer navigator. A Community of Practice session was also held in May, providing an opportunity for professional networking and sharing of experiences.SRT has reached 120 staff members across six organisations, including an Emergency Department, an Aged Care facility, a health network organisation, and three mental health organisations. The training has been delivered to five metro and one regional organisation, with our primary focus on Health Justice, aiming to create a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment for all.
