Dear All,

What a start to the year! To have the bushfires after the extreme heat wave conditions in Victoria while there were floods in Queensland. So many individuals have been affected. What a country and what a response from people to all those in difficulty.

I thought that the televised memorial service last Sunday was an amazing ceremony which was inclusive of many parts of the national psyche.

The role for those who can still their own thoughts and ideas of fixing the problems and listen accurately to the story others are telling will be vital over the years of healing that will need to follow these traumatic happenings. The listening cure—counselling.
