Acknowledge of country.

I live and work on Guringai and Darkinjung land, and I want to pay my respects to the traditional custodians of this place, past and present, their elders and leaders emerging, and I acknowledge that this is now, has always been, and will always be Aboriginal land.

Acknowledge of lived experience.

As someone who has a lived experience of mental illness, I want to acknowledge people visiting and using this website who have had a similar experience, as well as the people who have been carers, families, or supporters of those who live with mental illness.
