ADNSW has launched a new resource to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people report discrimination and protect their mental health during The Voice referendum debate.

The new guide – 6 ways to look after yourself and mob during The Voice referendum debate – was developed in collaboration with Lifeline’s 13YARN and features Indigenous artwork and illustrations.
