Let’s Get to Know Each Other – What Languages Do We Speak? 🌍💬
Our CALD community is incredibly diverse, and we want to make sure the content and information we share genuinely support everyone here. One way we can do that is by understanding the different languages and cultural backgrounds represented in our group. So, we’d love to hear from you: What languages do you speak or understand? This could be your first language, a language you learned later in life, or even one you don’t use as often anymore. I’ll go first: I speak Latvian, and I know a little bit of German (although I’m slowly losing my touch!). Sharing your languages helps us tailor information, resources, and support so they’re as helpful and accessible as possible. 💗🌏 There’s absolutely no pressure — only share what you're comfortable with.🌍 Research Findings: Experiences of CALD People with Cancer
For those interested in understanding more about the unique experiences and needs of people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds affected by cancer, Victorian Integrated Cancer Services (VICS) has released important consultation findings. These insights explore the challenges CALD communities face when navigating cancer care and highlight opportunities to create more inclusive, accessible, and culturally safe support across the system.
