“Scientology has so many resources, and I am very optimistic that those resources will offer not only hope, but also practical solutions to people desperately in need of a lifeline. The responsibility for change lies not just with government officials, but with each of us, with you and me—every citizen.

With the help of Scientology and its programs, I believe we can achieve it.”—Dr. Amin Hady, former religious advisor to the Australian Prime Minister © 2024 Church of Scientology International.
