Angela Martin, General Manager of Lifeline North Coast, oversees a senior leadership team working to deliver crucial suicide prevention and postvention services as well as overseeing the Gamble Aware Program for Mid and Northern NSW. The primary competition prize is a painting called “Celebrating Our Differences” by Gumbaynggirr artist Lilly Clegg from Yarrawarra Aboriginal Cultural Centre, Corindi Beach. VIEW Clubs of Australia are the largest sponsors of the Learning for Life Students program through The Smith Family, currently helping 1785 students. “We have several VIEW Clubs in our area – reach out if this is something you may be interested in,” Ms Garbers said.
