New mental health support website launched!
Australia’s new digital mental health gateway, Head to Health, is now live.
A new website that links Australians to
online and phone mental health services, information and resources is now live. Head to Health
connects people to trusted online and phone mental health
services appropriate for their individual needs.
Services and resources listed on Head to Health are delivered by Australia’s trusted mental health service providers including SANE Australia, The BlackDog Institute and Lifeline. They include free or low-cost apps, online support communities, online courses, and phone services that are private and secure.
Head to Health will help people to take control of their mental health, at a time and place convenient to them, complementing or in place of face-to-face services. It supports people seeking help- either for themselves or someone they care about.
Head to Health is not only helpful when seeking support for a mental health condition, it also provides information about staying mentally well for every Australian.
Head to Health was developed in collaboration with the community, the mental health sector and the Department of Health. R U OK? is one of the Head to Health service provider partners, providing resources to assist friends and family when reaching out to someone they're worried about.
