Who is headspace for?
headspace is our free and confidential service available for young people aged 12-25. We also support parents and families of young people as needed, to help you on your journey.
Services offered include:
- Mental health – These support sessions could be with our youth care coordinators, counsellors, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists or even a peer support worker. We’ll connect you with the right person to help you get through the tough times.
- Alcohol and drug services – We have workers either on site or linked to our centres who can support with any drug and alcohol concerns or questions.
- Doctor (GP) – Some of our centres have access to a GP who can help with any physical/sexual health issues, drug and alcohol use and all the things a regular GP supports with.
- Work and study support – We either have workers on site or someone linked to our centre who can support you to meet your work and study goals.
- Youth programs – Our centres offer a range of different youth programs that run at varying times throughout the year. These can include art groups, First Nations cultural programs, gaming groups, music groups, social groups, LGBTIQA+ specific groups and so on. Contact your local centre for more information!
