May 17th marks International Day Against Homophobi

May 17th marks International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia.

39% of LGBTQIA+ people have experienced depression in the past 12 months compared to 6.2% of the general population.

At The Big Sister Experience we support and want to continue celebrating LGBTQIA+ people both in our workshops and the wider community!

But today, we want to raise awareness for the work that still needs to be done to combat discrimination against the community and improve overall mental health outcomes.

Thank you to organisations like @minus18, @ygender.tdg, @queerspace_drummondstreet and @invisible.thedrum for all the work that you do 🌈

When was the last time you reached out to check in

When was the last time you reached out to check in on a friend? Sometimes it can be incredibly hard to be vulnerable and ask for help when you need it, often it’s harder to reach out to those close to you.

If it has been a while since you have checked in with your friends, here is your gentle reminder to reach out ✨

Boundaries are guidelines, rules or limits that a

Boundaries are guidelines, rules or limits that a person creates to define how they would like to be treated by the people around them.

This makes sense, however a lot of the time we avoid setting them due to different emotions that may come up. In our workshops we teach young people the language to use to enforce their boundaries and the six areas that a personal boundary can be established.

Swipe to see the six areas and check in with yourself if you too need to establish a boundary.

The Big Sister Experience is thrilled to announce

The Big Sister Experience is thrilled to announce that @rhiannan_iffland is joining the team as an ambassador! You may recognise Rhiannan from her incredible achievements as a world champion cliff diver, but as we all know there is so much more that makes us who we are.

"I never realised the importance of my role models growing up. I now realise how powerful a single person can be in educating and influencing younger girls into becoming the best versions of themselves."

We're looking forward to this new adventure with Rhiannan as she is such a great role model inspiring the next generation.

Did you know that The Big Sister Experience travels all across Victoria? We were lucky enough to take two trips down to Torquay last month to work with the Year 9 and Year 10 students teaching them how to use their voice, support one another and learn how to start loving themselves ❤️⁠

It is always so rewarding when educators get involved with the workshops alongside the students. Showing their authentic self in front of their students really helps foster a sense of connection leading to improved wellbeing and educational outcomes for our young people!⁠

Our workshops incorporate group therapy methods that really encourage students to interact with each one another. Research has found that peer interactions help reduce stigma, feelings of isolation and can be incredibly helpful as peers can identify with one another. ⁠

On your body image journey we think that body acceptance is a great place to start...

When inundated with positive affirmations about body image, it can be quite overwhelming to navigate a starting point. We teach young girls the importance of accepting your body and what it does for you and acknowledging that we still may have bad days, but that doesn't mean we aren't worthy of showing up!
