Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli invites contributions for 'Coming Out of the Too Hard Basket', a collection of personal stories, practical suggestions and strategies from parents and other family members, teachers, youth workers, health workers, church leaders, academics, researchers and young people that consider what to do when a young person comes out as lgbt, how to deal with family, friends and others, and practical suggestions that work in classrooms, in schools, and in youth groups for young people to address sexual diversity.
The book will be published by Finch publishing Australia. Contributions can vary in style and length and should focus on what the issue or experience was, what you did about it, what was the outcome, and what you would suggest to others going through the same thing.
If you would like to contribute something or for further info please contact Maria on 0414 804 529 or email <mariapc@deakin.edu.au>
