Starting these conversations can feel daunting. Below are some conversation starters to offer support through a listening ear and respectful boundaries:

💛 “Hey, I’m not sure what’s going on, but I want you to know I’m here for you.”

Where are they now? – Tallara Sorbello in 2026

With over a year at our organisation and as one of our administration team members, Tallara has been an amazing asset to the team. She is your first point of contact when you come into our office or when you call to enquire about our service. Tallara has been providing culturally safe support to our First Nations women and guiding them on their journey. Don’t forget to thank Tallara for all the hard work she does behind the scenes.

Thank you Tallara 🌼🩷
