The suicide rate in Australia is a humanitarian crisis that we can no longer ignore
Our capacity to listen is an imperative & must be achieved without judgment, for often redemption is needed: forgiveness in addition to sympathy, empathy.

WA Govt has betrayed its homeless
What happens if a street homeless soul contracts the UK strain?
The street homeless weather a lot of pain ailments & debilitation before they see a doctor, if at all
