💬 “The fact that harm reduction spending has continued to decline in the face of unprecedented evidence of impact and effectiveness is deeply concerning...”

A new UNSW report has revealed that state and federal governments spent approximately $5.45B on illicit drug countermeasures in the 2021/2022 financial year.

Nearly 65% was spent on law enforcement programs while less than 2% was spent on harm reduction measures such as needle syringe programs and supervised injecting facilities.

Mother's Day has different meanings for everyone. Let's extend love and understanding to those whose hearts may also be grieving this year.

💭 This Mother's Day, we acknowledge that loss and love can coexist.

💭 Feelings like "No one loved me like she did" or "I won't get to work through our differences" are common.

💭 Mother's Day may hold complex emotions for those who have experienced pregnancy loss, the death of a child, or estrangement from family.

💭 While Mother's Day celebrates motherhood, it can also be a time of sadness and reflection. Acknowledging bittersweet feelings is important.

💭 If you're struggling, reaching out can help. Talk to a friend, join a support group, or seek professional support. Grief needs witnessing.

How To Be Ok. No matter where our stories have taken us, we all just want to be ok, to feel like we can cope, find connection and meaning. Regular counselling sessions can help you centre and ground yourself, feel more confident in your relationships and work life and let go of limiting beliefs. I'd love to work with you online or face-to-face in Marrickville.
