SANE'S INNOVATE RAP - What does reconciliation look like in our community?
Hey Forumites!!✨
A few weeks ago, the SANE Team attended a conference where @RachSANECEO shared SANE’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which now we get to share with you! You can check out our Journey to Reconciliation, and read all about SANE’s Innovate RAP.
To summarise, our goal for the next 3 years is to:
- End mental health inequality through systemic change
- Eliminate stigma, discrimination, and social exclusion
We recognise the deep and lasting impact colonisation has had—and continues to have—on the mental health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. With many of the people we support living in regional, rural, and remote areas, developing an Innovate RAP is a meaningful step in advancing our vision and strengthening our commitment to genuine reconciliation.
We want our forums community involved in this step with us – we want you all to reflect on what reconciliation and closing the gap looks like for you.
Here’s our 2 questions to the forums community:
- What does reconciliation mean or look like to you? Show us by sharing photos or artworks (make sure to follow the guidelines when posting), or feel free to create your own artwork!
As seen on the RAP (and presented below), ‘Heal the People’ by Kelly Marie Taylor is an artwork that incorporates symbols to express her journey. We’ve copied below some symbols you can use when creating your own art piece (and feel free to google some more symbols).
- What’s one way you’re thinking about engaging with reconciliation moving forward? Feel free to also share meaningful ways you’ve engaged in the past and what you’ve learnt from those experiences.
We look forward to seeing everyone’s contributions 💖
