So many people experiencing addiction have told me that their issues began during school, but their friends didn't know how to help.
Excited to further develop our unique program for schools across Australia, to help address stigma & build young people's help-seeking skills.

New research into prison visitation has found that information about how to organise visits, and the rules that apply to visits, is extremely hard to find. Incorrect advice from prisons themselves resulted in cancelled or traumatic visits. Read more here: latrobe.edu.au/news/articles…

Australia-wide, the number of people incarcerated without a prison sentence is still growing. Imprisonment on remand is always disruptive, often unjust, and rarely rehabilitative. There is simply no justification for its widespread use. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Some personal news.

Brilliant work by @idunnonews who broke this story on @abcdarwin radio yesterday.
It's devastating to see this place - a home of land rights - allegedly destroyed.

Wonderful to hear reflections about the Golden Era 1997-2014 when mob has a voice on drug and alcohol strategy @ScottADAC #APSAD23
Powerful oration by @ScottADAC “no I don’t acknowledge you, no I don’t see you no I don’t want to hear from you” This reflection on the Referendum result was timely and needed for all the mob and everyone in the room. “75% mob voted yes and this is just devastating”

Incredible insights on the significance of the western framework of clinician v client and how it can actually trigger mob. Trust and authentic relationships must be at the centre. It’s is not enough to be trauma informed. We need healing informed yarns. #APSAD23 @APSADConf

This is a staggering stat.
Staggering because #substanceuse is not at all reflected in #suicideprevention frameworks or strategies internationally. This data is from the UK but not dissimilar to other countries.
When will we do something about this?

Kellogg's has announced a new domestic abuse policy of support to workers, including extra paid leave.
If you are an employer and do not yet have a policy on domestic abuse please actively consider one. Employees deserve awareness and support.
