15.01.2022 As Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, we share a special connection to this country and to each other, through culture, community and shared experience. Regardless of where we live, or who our mob is, we can all go through tough times, times when we don’t feel great about our lives or ourselves. That’s why it’s important to always be looking out for each other. If someone you know a family member, someone from your community, a friend, neighbour or workmate... is doing it tough, they won’t always tell you. Sometimes it’s up to us to trust our gut instinct and ask someone who may be struggling with life Are you OK?. By asking and listening, we can help those we care about feel more supported and connected, which can help stop them from feeling worse over time.
