About

VAHS have established a free and confidential counselling service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Yarning SafeNStrong (YSNS) is available to people and families who need to have a yarn with someone about their wellbeing.

COVID-19 has seen many of our community without access to their family and other support, including face to face access to workers from Aboriginal services, leaving many feeling vulnerable and isolated.

We have culturally suitable counsellors you can yarn safely with ‘who get it’, no matter how

big or small the challenge.

So if you’re feeling like you want someone to talk to maybe give us a call?

We offer support with:

  • Social and Emotional wellbeing
  • Financial wellbeing
  • Medical support including COVID-19 testing
  • Drug and alcohol counselling and rehab services

HeartKids is not affiliated with this support group or organisation. It is the responsibility of the individual and/or their carer(s) to determine whether this or any other organisation on this website may provide some benefit to them.
