Online Mental Health Forums

Via our partner SANE Australia, HelpingMinds® hosts and facilitates online forums for people affected by mental health challenges. These forums are monitored 24/7 which means you can access them anytime, anywhere, for support from a professional staff. Individuals with mental health challenges can connect with others experiencing the same condition and find comfort with them. Carers or family and friends of people with mental health conditions can get resources and advice from those with lived experiences and health professionals.

At HelpingMinds, our goal is to provide support not only for people suffering from mental health conditions but to the family and friends caring for them. Through these mental health online forums hosted by HelpingMinds and SANE Australia, we aim to provide a platform for everyone to come together, share experiences, find comfort and educate one another to make living with or being affected by a mental health condition, worthwhile.

Carers Forum

The friends, family and carers Forum is a place to introduce yourself, read the stories of carers like you and share your own experience. You will learn coping strategies, self-care tips, goals and how to reach them and tips for celebration and motivation. This forum is all about supporting ourselves and each other when we look after a loved one suffering from mental health challenges.

Don’t let mental health challenges get in the way of living your best life!

Most of the time, people experiencing a mental health disorder would be glad to receive good advice from someone with a lived experience. Other times, all they need is a listening ear to help comfort them. Carers of people living with mental health conditions would also love to connect with people with the same experience. Through communication and social activities, Carers won’t feel isolated and instead have other people to confide with.
