20.01.2022 hIn her book ‘Phosphorescence’, Julia Baird writes about the value of experience. In one case, she writes, people who spent time staring up at towering eucalypts were more inclined to help someone who had stumbled and dropped a handful of pens than those who had not. In other words, when dwarfed by an experience, we are more likely to look to one another and care for one another and feel more connected.

They're on a mission to deliver programs and services that save lives, and to ultimately see a suicide-free Tasmania.
