Today is International Safe Abortion Day. ❤️

Abortion is healthcare.
Abortion is a human right.
Abortion is your choice, no justification needed.

1/2 of all pregnancies in Australia are unplanned. 1/2 of all unplanned pregnancies in Australia are terminated.
Not all states & territories provide low-cost or free abortion services, and the cost of accessing abortion remains high despite Medicare rebates.

For more information on how to access abortion and what to expect in the process, read our blog ‘What are your options if you have an unwanted pregnancy?’ Link in bio. 🔗

Today on Bi Visibility Day we are thinking about how internalised bi-erasure effects the community.

Internalised bi-erasure is when bisexual people absorb harmful messages and start to believe them. It can lead to self-doubt, shame, or hiding parts of ourselves.

We unpack why this happens, how it shows up, and how to combat it.

Today and every day – YOU ARE BI ENOUGH! 💜💜💜

‼️ CW: su***de and self-harm

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

1 in 6 Australians aged 16 to 85 has had serious thoughts of taking their own life at some point in their life. (AIHW, 2022)

There are complex and varied reasons why people may have suicidal thoughts. If you want to support someone experiencing these thoughts, it can help to understand the underlying reasons and what function those thoughts may be serving for them. 💚
