I’m just going to drop this here. It’s advantageous. Its crazy. It’s a massive dream but this is the direction I see my ‘My Yawa’ heading. It might take me two years to raise money, find philanthropists and get certain levels of government onboard but here she is. When you’re deemed not sick enough to be taken into SCUH’s Mental Health Ward or they are full we will welcome you with open arms. Alcohol and drug addictions along with mental health, depression, anxiety and detoxing etc. within a certain distance from SCUH so it’s accessible and either extremely affordable, in some cases free, others covered by your private health or others paid, I want to be in the thick of things and in the trenches and save lives. I want us to be called out to the single mum who is struggling with her son trying to overdose or take their life, (along with the government services) I want us to be there for ‘Steve’ who’s lost his job, has the loan for the house and BMW and everything has gotten too much and feels like the only way out is to leave this beautiful earth. I feel sooooo called to purpose. And I want it to be staffed by at least 50% First Nations people and also people with lived experience, I want to save lives, where do you go when you’re feeling so down you want to end things but emergency is too much and too over whelming? Where do you go when you just need 3 or 4 days out of the environment that’s put you in such a bad mental state that you don’t know where to go, you go to My Yawa. Like I said I’ll be looking for people to be apart of the ‘My Yawa Army’ to help raise money to get this facility together. We will need to campaign as a team, there is strength in numbers and we can save lives. TOGETHER as a community, let’s do this!
