Mental health support can be found in many ways. From call and chat services to specialised care, there is help available for you.
Ill mental health is experienced by millions of people in Australia (AIHW 2023). Statistics also show that anyone at any stage of life can struggle with ill mental health (ABS 2022). Most disorders can be treated or managed with a care plan. Recovery is possible with support.
The important thing is to find support when you need it. This may be a difficult thing for you to do, but times have changed. There is now much more social acceptance of the fact that mental health does not define a person.
If you or someone you know is experiencing ill mental health, you are not alone and there is help available. A good place to start is Head to Health, a free and confidential service with more than 500 resources available to everyone.
