About Mental Health and Wellbeing Connect
Your Mental Health and Wellbeing Connect centre is a new free service that is staffed with people who understand what it takes to support a loved one with a mental health, substance use challenges and/or neurodivergence, and understand what families, carers and supporters need the most to live a good life.
Available supports
We can help you to navigate the mental health and wellbeing system and provide practical and financial support that can make things a little easier.
A wide range of support is available, including:
- peer worker support
- psychological and wellbeing supports
- help navigating the mental health and wellbeing system
- access to hardship funds
- education and practical support.
Support is free, simply contact us or walk-in. You don’t need a referral from your doctor or health professional.
What to expect
Mental Health and Wellbeing Connect centres aim to be a safe, inclusive, and welcoming service. You can expect your personal and cultural needs to be always respected.
You will talk with a supportive member of the team, who have lived and living experience as a carer. This can be over the phone, in-person at one of our centre’s or at an agreed more accessible location.
You may also wish for your family and/or supporters to be part of your support, and we can help bring them on your journey.
