Please note: At PACFA, we are committed to upholding our values of inclusivity and respect for diversity in all aspects of our work. We recognise that some of the language and concepts used in this training may be considered pathologising, inaccurate, or oppressive by people and communities with lived experience in the topics discussed. To ensure that we create a safe and inclusive learning environment, we encourage participants to engage with lived experience sources and to consider different perspectives. This helps us to respect marginalised people and communities as the best authorities to consult about their own experiences. We are dedicated to fostering a culture of learning that is mindful of diverse perspectives.
