In this episode we're joined by Louise O'Reilly who shares her perspective as an Aboriginal woman on how we can best support and mentor young people, drawing from her own lived experiences and past work as a youth worker. We talked about:

  • Louise’s experience of growing up Aboriginal in Australia
  • How Aboriginal kinship structures bring people closer together and what we can learn from this
  • The importance of validating Aboriginal identities, cultures and perspectives
  • Unpacking personal biases and privilege to be a better ally and mentor
  • Amplifying the voices and involvement of Aboriginal youth
