Mental Health Support Resource

/in /by

The Mental Health Support Resource is an information tile found on the Access My Community App. The resource lists local services for individuals and people supporting others. Services are free or low-cost, and are accessible without a referral or a Mental Health Care Plan. These services can be used alone, complement GP’s advice, and help those on a waitlist to see a psychologist.

The tile is ‘geolocated’, meaning it is available to people living, working, or visiting the areas of Cockburn, Fremantle, and Melville.

For more information on how to access and download the tile, click here
