Support in Tough Times

If you or someone you care about is feeling overwhelmed, distressed, or is in immediate danger, please call 000 as soon as possible.

Sometimes things can feel too hard or painful, and you may have thoughts about suicide or feel like life is no longer worth living. If this is happening to you, you don’t have to go through it on your own.

Reach out and yarn with someone you trust it could be a family member, friend, Elder, Aboriginal health worker, or health professional. Getting support early can help you stay safe and find a way through the tough times.

Your life matters. You matter, and there is support available.
