Homelessness Week 7 - 13 August 2017.

The City of Wanneroo’s Libraries will be running book displays for adult and child readers, on the topic of homelessness.

Keep an eye out for the smart boards in the libraries; there will be rolling presentations all week with information on Western Australia’s homeless population, information on where you can get support if you are homeless or in need and suggestions on where to make donations.

If you are currently in crisis, contact Crisis Care, a telephone service for people in crisis needing urgent help. It operates 24 hours, 7 days a week. Telephone (08) 9223 1111 or 1800 199 008 (country free call). Crisis Care can be accessed through the translating and interpreting service on 13 14 50.
