Did you know that the suicide rate amongst indigenous people in the Kimberley is 3 times the national indigenous suicide rate and 7 times the national non indigenous rate? These stats are from the medical journal of Australia. They also mention that poverty is the number one cause and that nearly all kids who self harm have been victims of alcohol abuse and domestic violence. The Kimberley Spirit Foundations dream is to break the chains of oppression over our young people and help them thrive not just survive. Founder Scotty Connell yarns about where it’s all come from, where it’s going and the steps that are being taken to see this dream come to life. Hope you enjoy. Cheers
