Last week, the results of the Rainbow Knowledge Survey were released, with more than 600 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, aged between 14 and 25, and who also identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or asexual, surveyed as part of a national study. 

The findings showed that nearly one in five of the participants had tried to take their own life in the past year, and within our communities we talk a big game about supporting one another, but are we meeting the needs of every part of our communities when it comes to that? 

This morning on JOY Breakfast, Rach & Dean welcome Dameyon Bonson founder of Black Rainbow, a national volunteer Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBQTIA+SB social enterprise to pursue positive health and wellbeing of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBQTIA+SB community.
