Online forum

Welcome to everyone joining us or reading along tonight! Firstly, we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the various different lands across Australia that we are joining this discussion from tonight. We pay respect to the elders of those communities (past and present) and further extend that respect to any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people with us tonight or reading back through the thread.  

Tonight, we are joined with Program Manager and Clinical Psychologist, Dr Sally Fitzpatrick from Everymind, to talk about support loved ones with anxiety, depression or suicidal distress and delve into communication, relationships, and looking after yourself throughout this process. 

To get us started, I invite Sally to introduce herself to the forum's community. We would also love to hear from members of the community joining us tonight about what has brought you here tonight, and what you’re hoping to get out of the discussion. Everyone is welcome here & thank you for joining us! 😊
