Life-Sav­ing Phone numbers:

Recently I com­pleted a St Johns Ambu­lance course on ‘Men­tal Health First Aid’. Some­thing I gained from the course was the import­ance of hav­ing the resources to handle crisis situ­ations.  Some import­ant phone num­bers which every­one should have on hand are:

Life­Line: 13 11 14       Kids Help Line: 1800 55 1800       Bey­ond Blue: 1300 22 4636      MensLine: 1300 789 978      1800 RESPECT: 1800 737 732

Please write these num­bers down, put them on your mobile or keep this notice some­where safe.  You might not need it your­self but someone you love or meet might be the one who needs it.  Fr Jeff
