15/07/2025

We've heard that a few people are sharing or mistaking 13YARN's number as 1300-YARN and need to reiterate the correct number to ensure that if anybody needs a yarn or are in crisis that they’ll be connected.

Please share amongst your networks and remember that it’s 𝟭𝟯 𝟵𝟮 𝟳𝟲, 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝟮𝟰 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀-𝟳𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀, and if you or someone you know are feeling worried or no good reach out for a yarn.

Happy NAIDOC Week to all. 🥳 This week the team will be holding stalls & celebrating at a bunch of events being held in Kalgoorlie & Mount Isa.
The opportunities for us to be at these events and yarn with mob face to face has been an important part of the growth and trust building for the 13YARN service over 3.5 years. Here's to the next generation of knowledge holders & teachers, the ones that will let the world know that we are still here and to carry on our 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵, 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆. This year we celebrate you.

National Sorry Day commemorates the Stolen Generations where 1 in 3 children were forcibly removed from their families and homelands in an attempt to assimilate our people into white Australian culture. Today we strive for self determination and healing from the pain, trauma, and lasting intergenerational affects caused by these government policies.
