• Having a yarn with someone you trust, whether that’s a family member, a friend, or an Elder, is a great way to start.
  • Spend time out on Country, connecting with your culture.
  • Get your body moving even if it’s just a little walk outside, or kicking a footy.

There are Aboriginal Health Services around South Australia, designed and delivered by our own mob. There you’ll find local workers, counsellors, and Elders who get what you’re going through.

Their doors are open to you, your family, your Community. Everyone’s welcome. No matter where you are, what’s going on, big or small, they’re here to listen.

Remember, your strength is in your people and your Culture.
