Having someone close to you living with mental health challenges can be a difficult, overwhelming and isolating experience. But you don’t have to go through it alone. Our free and confidential mental health support are designed to help you better support those close to you.
If your family member or friend lives with a severe and longstanding mental illness they may be eligible for support through the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme). We can help you through every stage of the NDIS application process.
