Sometimes the only way to get help for yourself is to act and help others too. Tidge Backhouse grew up in a small town in Country New South Wales, Australia where acceptance and support for gay people was thin on the ground. 

In high school Tidge took matters into their own hands to create safe spaces for them and others leaving a legacy for future queer students. Tidge is now making a difference in health care for the queer community, paving the way for others to feel seen and accepted.

Listen in to Tidge’s introduction to hear how they model inclusion and acceptance.

Tidge learnt so much from attending 6 Weeks to Get Started in Diversity & Inclusion and we loved having them as part of the course.
