Mental health support

Our mental health support service can help you with support when and where you need it. 

The free telehealth service is available to people who are living with, or at risk of, mild mental health conditions. This support is also a great resource for people who feel they are doing well, but who can benefit from assistance in specific areas of their lives.

Our Mental Health Support can help you to:

• Increase your motivation
• Deal more positively with change
• Achieve a better work-life balance
• Find focus and purpose in retirement
• Manage burnout from being a carer
• Deal with challenging family dynamics
• Build healthy boundaries and relationships
• Develop helpful parenting strategies.
