I'm still thinking about this book.
I beg every non-Indigenous person to read this. It's like sitting down with a good friend and just listening.
@WordsandGuitar is such an honest writer. I constantly put the book down and took breaths.

Therapy can only do so much if you’re not able to get your basic needs met. Mental health is affordable housing. Mental health is free healthcare. Mental health is free education. Mental health is food security. Mental health is financial stability. Therapy can’t fix the system.
I am once again reminding you that Indigenous genocide denial should be as unacceptable in public discourse as Holocaust denial and the fact that it’s not; that deniers are still published in national print media is a disgrace on this so-called country

It is our hope that 2023 will be the year Indigenous Women are no longer harmed by the silence that surrounds colonial violence. May the new year bring safety, respect and honour to our home fires.
I learned a lot with my time as a volunteer at IMAlive, it played an integral part in me getting my position as a support worker. I use skills from here everyday at work.
Forever grateful for the help I was able to offer through this service.
