In the wake of Voice referendum, an urgent call for support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people

What a year 2023 has been! As we come to the end of the year, let’s reflect on all we’ve achieved to support the highest attainable standard of social and emotional wellbeing, mental health, and suicide prevention outcomes for mob mailchi.mp/gayaadhuwi/tha…

We are calling for the Australian Government to make an immediate and genuine commitment to address the impacts of the Voice Referendum on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people – particularly children, youth, and elders gayaadhuwi.org.au/media-release-…

As the sun sets on another World Mental Health Day, let us be reminded of the strength, resilience, and wisdom that runs deep in the veins of our First Nations people. Our connection to the land, our stories, and our traditions have been our guiding light for generations.

Dr Graham Gee talks about how he is keeping well in the lead up to the referendum.

'Remember, no matter what the outcome, our Elders and our Ancestors have been here long before the Referendum, and we will be here long after.'

This weekend take a moment for yourself.
Find a nice quiet place, take a deep breath and enjoy a cuppa.
