Sunday 26 May is National Sorry Day. "On National Sorry Day, we acknowledge the pain inflicted on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples who were forcibly removed under Stolen Generation practices. "Sorry Day changes how we talk about the actions that left a legacy of hurt and loss for First Nations Peoples. We must unite with and elevate the voices of Stolen Generation Survivors to accurately assess the past and write a new future. "Stolen Generation Survivors harbour pain and anger unfairly caused by past government practices. Survivors have a humbling sense of hope and humour despite their trauma and its impact still felt today. "Subsequent generations are still facing ongoing implications of Stolen Generation practices, including remarkably high-risk factors for removal, institutionalisation, incarceration, mental health problems, addiction, and self-harm. "Through our work with First Nations Peoples and communities, we are committed to respecting the bravery of those who continue to work through the inflicted trauma and pain. We acknowledge the systemic racism still present in our society, and honour that truth as we walk with First Nations Peoples on the journey towards a more healing future." Aunty Debra Bennet

I have a full frontal mirror of these dots since cognate in the 1970s and at rosary bed/bead level of kindling/rekindling the existential crucible of the lie of the land. https://lnkd.in/eXH7NSp7 Some people who need to alter their minds can be excessively self righteous/conformist despite the liberty of intake seem as social freedoms rights. We do not have a freedom right to adhesively recalibrate respect into an honour code of disrespect? Where we do believe its an imperative to dial down aggression and uncheck into psychotic violence? In my view the secret lives of the mind is more frequently tied to post code lottery but not always. But courts have a very high social economic logic of order/disorder. Some political manifestos currently in session believe you should pay for the gates to keep out anti-social and also believe we should roll out recovery at massive costs to the exchequers.

Alarming Rise in Global Drug Use, Key Findings from the UNODC World Drug Report 2023 | A must read for Blockchain and tech Lovers! According to the UNODC World Drug Report 2023, the global drug landscape is undergoing significant and worrying changes. New data reveals that the number of people who inject drugs reached 13.2 million in 2021, marking an 18% increase from previous estimates. In the same year, over 296 million people worldwide were reported to have used drugs, which is a 23% rise over the past decade. Alarmingly, the number of people with drug use disorders has surged to 39.5 million, representing a 45% increase over ten years. Key Findings: - People Who Inject Drugs: 13.2 million (2021), up 18% from earlier estimates. - Global Drug Users: Over 296 million (2021), a 23% increase over the past decade. - Drug Use Disorders: 39.5 million, up 45% over the past ten years. The report underscores that social and economic inequalities are both a cause and consequence of drug challenges. Additionally, it highlights the environmental destruction and human rights abuses linked to illicit drug economies, alongside the increasing prevalence of synthetic drugs.

Queen (pseudonym) started injecting drugs when she was just 15 years old. She had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital for depression and prescribed medication for the condition. Unfortunately, this led to her becoming dependent on drugs, and she continued to use them for the next 15 years of her life. Throughout her life, Queen faced numerous challenges. She grew up without her mother’s presence and her family, who were previously supportive, rejected her due to her drug addiction, leaving her no longer welcome home. This forced her to live in unstable housing conditions such as bunks, uncompleted buildings, and motor parks, and exposed her to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) from everyone, including the police.

HAPPY RECOVERY MONTH! It is important to remember all aspects of recovery—the victories, the struggles and the silent battles. This month, we honor those who found their path to recovery, those that left their recovery and those who never discovered the support and solutions that could have saved them. Some leave this world ignoring or never knowing the fact that recovery was within reach, a heart-wrenching reminder of the work still needed to spread awareness and hope. For many, the familiar coping mechanisms, however destructive, feel safer than the vulnerability required to heal. Recovery isn't chosen by everyone, not because it's unavailable, but because the leap towards change is a daunting one. There is still a HUGE amount of stigma attached to people who need recovery. This stops more than we will ever know. There are many individuals who've come back from the brink—those who have survived multiple hospital visits, incarcerations, lost everything to their addiction and have managed to rebuild their lives from the ashes. Their stories are testaments to the strength and tenacity of the human spirit. This Recovery Month, let’s pledge to reach out, to speak up, and to extend a hand. Whether it's sharing resources, offering a listening ear, or simply talking openly about the realities of recovery, every action counts. Do whatever you can to erase the stigma around having an addiction. Together, we can build a community that not only remembers those we've lost but also lights the way for those still searching for their path to recovery. #RecoveryMonth #addictionawareness#HopeAndHealing #recoveryispossible #RememberingTheLost

Native American communities have the highest suicide rates - Despite decades of research into suicide prevention, suicide rates among Indigenous people have remained stubbornly high, especially among Indigenous people ages 10 to 24, according to the CDC. Experts say that’s because the national strategy for suicide prevention isn’t culturally relevant or sensitive to Native American communities’ unique values. DT rebuttal; The fact is, young and vulnerable indigenous people are totally disconnected from Mother Earth and nature because of the religious matrix, the white man's culture and modernisation. Unable to regenerate their spirit NATURALLY, as they used to do for millenaries, native American's spirit is decaying fast. This opens the door to a reptilius infestation leading to serious depression and the use/abuse of legal/illegal drugs and alcohol. The rational "experts" are clueless and regardless of my endless efforts to reach and teach the world about various groups of ET's cursing humanity psychically, not many people are paying attention to my warnings or supporting my work.

Narcan saves lives and it’s been proven time and time again. https://lnkd.in/eS5eFyqk With the prevalence of fentanyl our younger generation aren’t even making it long enough to hit a sufficient bottom to desire a change. Our country is being poisoned and destroyed from the inside out. Support the mission. All proceeds go towards ground operations to treat the addiction and foster a new way of life.

Ending mass incarceration begins with addressing violence at its roots. We must look beyond punishment and focus on the underlying factors that drive violent behavior – poverty, lack of education, mental health issues, and much more. By investing in violence prevention programs, providing access to mental health services, and creating opportunities for education and employment, we can reduce harm and build safer, healthier communities. It's time to shift our approach from punishment to prevention, and from retribution to rehabilitation.
