Wellbeing – Accessing Mental Health Support

Following up on our staff training in Mental Health First Aid, we wanted to take a moment to share some places that young people and their families/care givers can access information, strategies and support when needed. SA Health offers a comprehensive range of public mental health services in SA. Services are provided through community health centres and hospitals, and to consumers in their own homes. Your doctor can help and make referrals to specialist mental health services.

If you would like to chat about any specific concerns for your child and the supports available, please make contact with the Wellbeing Team at our school.
