With Survival Day just around the corner we all know that it can impact our mob in the community and online. The racism call topic is high for 13YARN, especially around this time so reach out for a yarn if you’re feeling no good.

Try to take it easy and minimise your social media activity if need be. enjoy some time with family and friends. Stay positive as we celebrate the survival of our people and culture on this day of mourning.
Call us on 13 92 76 – 24/7.

Some of the 13YARN team headed down to the annual Battle of the Countries rugby league carnival on beautiful Dharawal country. We got to yarn with mob of all ages from all over, and to watch some deadly footy.

BOTC is an annual Rugby League carnival created to raising awareness of Mental Health & Su***de Prevention amongst Aboriginal communities throughout the country.
A special thanks to Rod and his team for looking after us. they all go above and beyond to make this important gathering happen.

We'd love to welcome and introduce 13 YARN's new National Manager, Dr Rosemary Norman-Hill.

A few words from Dr Rosemary:

I’m honoured to step into the role of National Service Manager for 13YARN, leading a dedicated national team supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the country. As a proud First Nations woman from the Cannemegal/Warmuli clan of the Darug Nation, this role holds deep personal meaning for me.

13YARN is a service built on trust, culture and care. I believe healing lives in relationships - to each other, to culture and Country. I’m committed to strengthening culturally safe practice, supporting the wellbeing of our Crisis Support Workers, and working alongside our national team, partners and communities to ensure people are met with understanding, dignity and respect when they reach out for support. Together I am confident we can continue to strengthen 13YARN as a place of connection, safety and hope for our communities
