What does HelpingMinds’ community mental health support look like?
At HelpingMinds, we understand that mental health recovery is a unique and personal journey for each individual. However, we also recognize that the support and resources available from family and community can have a significant impact on an individual’s recovery process. This is why we strive to provide comprehensive Community Mental Health assistance in Perth as part of our psychosocial support services, catering to the needs of individuals, families, and communities affected by mental health challenges. Our support services for individuals cover a range of non-clinical supports that focus on building personal capacity and stability in terms of social skills, friendships and family connections as well as developing broader life skills, including confidence and resilience so that they can live independently in their communities.
Our programs and events are designed to provide a wide range of support, including education and awareness, counselling and therapy, and community engagement and connection. We work closely with individuals to develop a Support Plan that addresses their specific needs and goals for recovery. Our team of trained professionals, including counsellors, therapists, and support workers, provide guidance and support throughout the recovery process.
In addition to providing direct support to individuals, we also work to improve the mental health of communities as a whole. We conduct mental health education and awareness programs for schools and workplaces and engage with neighbourhood groups to promote understanding and acceptance of mental health challenges. By working together with communities, we aim to create a supportive environment that promotes recovery and improves the overall well-being of everyone affected by mental health challenges.
Our goal is to empower individuals and communities to take control of their mental health and well-being and to provide the support and resources necessary for a successful recovery journey. We believe that by working together, we can help break down the barriers and stigmas associated with mental health and create a more inclusive and understanding society.
