Thirrili Newsletter September 2020 – Volume 1 Issue 18

Welcome to the 18th edition of our Newsletter I am sorry to report that we have seen an increase in suicides over the past two weeks – receiving notifications in Victoria, NSW, QLD, NT and SA. While these do not appear to be directly attributable to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the events are a very harsh reminder that quality, Indigenous-led postvention services are critical for our families and communities.
