10.01.2022 Last month Lifeline launched the "Wellbeing and Healing Through Connection and Culture Report", a study undertaken by the Centre of Best Practice. At Lifeline, we know from experience that we all need human connection, but the experience of connection to culture and concepts of healing are unique to our First Nation’s Peoples. We commissioned this report to formally acknowledge the strength of that connection and seek to understand the hope that it brings. The recommendations by Professor Pat Dudgeon and her team of researchers lay the groundwork for Lifeline to support delivery of a culturally responsive Indigenous designed and delivered national crisis line. The full report can be found here: https://bit.ly/37HHuak

We need to do the same with our mental health. Asking for help is a strength and a step on your journey.
