💜 A pop of purple 💜

Teams members across VAHS' sites came to work pretty in purple, and displaying their "Purple Pledge" at the work stations or on their person, pledging how they create safe spaces for Rainbow Mob and the wider LGBTIQA+ Community for Wear it Purple Day 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Wear It Purple Day started in 2010 to address the devastating impact bullying, discrimination, and exclusion has on LGBTIQA+ youth 🌈

Having and holding safe health spaces for Rainbow Mob helps to break down social prejudice against q***r Mob, and helps VAHS deliver truly holistic health services for the whole Community 🖤💛❤️
