We sincerely apologise to any individuals who may have been triggered by this language. We encourage anyone in need of support to contact the Mental Health Emergency Response Line at 1300 555 788, Lifeline at 13 11 14, or Crisis Care at 9223 1111. PWdWA has removed the individual from our page. This decision was not made lightly, but we will not tolerate derogatory or abusive language. (fb)
