MISSION

To deliver LGBTIQA+ Inclusion Training broadly to ensure our community can show up in more spaces knowing they are safe, affirmed and celebrated.
VISION
To continue expanding With Pride's presence to promote health outcomes in our community, this by continually growing and providing representation with our practitioners in all states of Australia and a strong global online presence for consultations, workshops, article writing, guest speaking, broadcasting and LGBTIQA+ Inclusion Training.
OUR JOURNEY
Our founder Shae Louise Abel (she/they) (BHSc (Nat), AdvDipSocSc (Just)) throughout their years of experience as a Practitioner and as a Psychosocial Mental Health Support Worker witnessed the hesitation of clients in accessing not only medical healthcare but also that of preventative healthcare. This is particularly the case for the LGBTIQA+ Community where discrimination is still a continuing issue, this contributing to less than ideal health outcomes.
With this came the vision for providing a visibly inclusive space to access an integration of health care services that work collaboratively with the aim to improve health outcomes.
By creating this platform people within our LGBTIQA+ Community can be empowered to work on their health without anxiety, simply knowing that they will be affirmed and respected.
