“The sooner health conditions are identified in an individual the better, as we can support people to receive the appropriate care as soon as possible for the best long-term gain,” said Faye Southcombe, Director Healthy Kids & Families.

"A lot of the young people we support are dealing with a range of challenges, all unique to them. When you combine this with a period of self-discovery, where sometimes the gender they identify with isn’t known or necessarily accepted by others, this can contribute to the challenges they’re facing. “It’s important we’re creating a safe space where they feel welcome.” In the latest edition of Thrive, Clinical Psychologist Talia Burton shares how Campbelltown Hospital’s Mental Health Adolescent Inpatient Unit implemented the ‘The Gender Sphere’ project, improving gender affirmative practices for consumers at the unit to ensure a trauma-informed approach.
