[Commpsych] Important: Media release - Asylum seekers self-harm in Australia’s detention centres, by Kyli Hedrick

[Heather Gridley]

That's excellent news Julie (well Kyli's work is excellent; the subject matter is shameful) - please congratulate Kyli on behalf of the community psychology community!

The APS put out a(nother) media release last week on this appalling state of affairs http://www.psychology.org.au/Content.aspx?ID=7179

You can get an idea of how long we have all been trying to make our voices heard from a psychological/humanitarian perspective here: http://www.psychology.org.au/community/public-interest/refugees/
