The news of Helen Haines violent incident in Wangaratta has rattled many peoples sense of safety and security. I understand from news reports she is in Melbourne in the care of our medical professionals.
I suggest if you are feeling particularly vulnerable, unsafe or not emotionally strong at the moment that you might consider not immersing yourself in the news and social feeds.
If you do have feelings of concern or distress, seek someone safe to speak to, take a moment to pause and be mindful and reflect on what has helped you in the past get through difficultly safely. Practice some self-care and always seek professional help as it is only a phone call, email or appointment away.
Take care, be kind to self and others. Look out for each other.
