EXCERPT

The Australian Indigenous Psychology Education Project at The University of Western Australia has launched an Australian-first suite of free resources for psychology supervisors that aims to increase cultural safety when working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The Listening More: Embedding Cultural Safety in Supervision initiative was led by Research Fellow Belle Selkirk, a Noongar woman and clinical psychologist with colleague, Dr Joanna Alexi.

The project is under the leadership of trailblazing Bardi woman and psychologist, Professor Pat Dudgeon AM, through the Transforming Indigenous Mental Health and Wellbeing research project.

The resources were produced by the Listening More working group which included representatives from AIPEP and the Australian Indigenous Psychologists Association (working group members: Belle Selkirk (lead), Joanna Alexi, Tanja Hirvonen, Mary Goslett, Jeneva Ohan, and Vanessa Edwige) with the support of the Australian Psychological Society, Australian Psychology Accreditation Council, and Heads of Departments and Schools of Psychology Association.
