Jan 26th is not a date to celebrate! It is a day of mourning and a reminder of the strength & survival of First Nations culture, country and communities.
 
We know this time can be especially hard time for mob. If you’re finding it tough today, here are a few ways to take care of yourself over Jan 26th:

• Spend time with mob.
• Take a break from social media.
• Spend time on country.
• Reach out to an aunty or uncle for a yarn.
 
If you are an ally, here are a few meaningful ways you can show up for First Nations people:

• Work instead of taking the public holiday
• Attend a rally or First Nations event.
• Learn about First Nations culture & history.
• Donate to a first Nations charity.
