Description

Support for Drought-affected communities

Building a happy and resilient community starts with taking care of our personal wellbeing.  

A Word from Marita Sleep

The Drought Relief project has been extended another 12 months. I will continue doing the work I have been with a slight change. I will be working from my home office beginning 7th July and will also start counseling work as well for which,  I have received funding for 100 hours so I can continue seeing old clients and see new ones too.  This is a free service to you and referrals are not needed.  This arrangement gives me more flexibility and will be a more focused use of my time.  I can now be contacted on my new mobile number 0488 676 490 for crisis counselling, drought information and assistance.

Please have a look at the following documents (current July 2009):

• R U OK? is an organisation committed to the prevention of suicide. We want to inspire all Australians to recognise they can make an immediate impact on our country's shockingly high suicide rate by simply connecting with their friends, colleagues and loved ones. A lack of connection is a major contributing cause of many social issues, particularly suicide.
