Hi {{contact.first_name}},
At Positive Vibes Foundation, we recognise that global events can deeply affect members of our local community — especially those with family, friends, and cultural connections overseas.
In recent days, many within the Iranian community here in Australia may be experiencing heightened stress, anxiety, sadness, or uncertainty while watching events unfold from afar. These emotional responses are completely natural.
Mental health challenges during times of international conflict or uncertainty can include:
Ongoing worry for loved ones
Sleep difficulties or emotional fatigue
Feelings of isolation or helplessness
Increased stress or anxiety
We want our Iranian friends and community members to know that you are not alone.
Australia is strengthened by its multicultural community, and during difficult times, connection, compassion, and conversation become more important than ever.
Checking in with one another, reaching out for support, and maintaining community connection can play a vital role in protecting well-being.
Positive Vibes Foundation encourages anyone experiencing emotional distress to seek support through trusted mental health services available across Australia.
Confidential Support Services Available:
☎️ Lifeline – 13 11 14 (24/7 Crisis Support)
☎️ Beyond Blue – 1300 22 4636 (Interpreter services available)
☎️ STARTTS – 1800 845 198 (Multicultural trauma support)
Together, through understanding and kindness, we can support healing and resilience within our community.
Stronger communities begin with caring conversations.
