Indigenous mental health organisation 13YARN have partnered with DrinkWise and Indigenous superstar Daniel Rioli in a campaign about alcohol consumption.
The new advertising campaign is designed to remind First Nations people that there is help, support and advice available for themselves or someone they know who is having trouble with alcohol.
The campaign has worked with triple premiership Richmond Tigers superstar Daniel Rioli, who says in the ad: "We all need to support our community without shame or judgement."

The first national crisis support line for mob who are feeling overwhelmed or having difficulty coping, 13YARN said they were proud to work with DrinkWise on the initiative.
"This new campaign, which will see messages on television, radio, and social media, reminds us that we all need to support each other and our community without shame or judgement," 13YARN National Manager Marjorie Anderson said.
"It also encourages mob to get in touch with 13YARN or visit the DrinkWise website if they or someone they know is feeling worried about their alcohol use.
"DrinkWise ensures that the moderation and support message reach all people in the community and that's why we've worked with Aboriginal athlete Daniel Rioli to ensure we reach our community as well. We're really happy to be working with Daniel and DrinkWise to continue to educate and support mob."
People can contact 13YARN (13 92 76). The national crisis support line offers a confidential one-on-one yarning opportunity with a Lifeline-trained Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Crisis Supporter who can provide crisis support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
People can also visit the Support Services page on the DrinkWise website for a list of services that can provide advice and support.
